After two years of enjoying FTE,I finally registered. I purchased a 2011 sterling grey metallic F 350 dually in December2010.Other than a Re- flash for harsh shifting and a TSB for exhaust smell in cab,the truck has been great! Dealer replaced both rear rims for corrosion last fall. Truck hauls the camper effortlessly,averaging 15 MPG

Welcome aboard Bob, and congrats on the truck.

Nice first post. With pics and everything. That's a good looking setup you have there. How much clearance is there between the rear fenders and the front jacks when you load up? Doesn't look like much.

Welcome to the dually club.

Thanks everyone !
Marchare011: There's about 1.5 inches between the fenders and the front jacks. The old school fenders make any repositioning of the truck easier. I also installed Stable Loads,Firestone Ride Rite Air bags and Rancho RSI 9000 XL's to adjust the ride.

Thanks, Bob.

It looks pretty tight. I used to have a couple cabovers years ago, but not a dually then. I had a set of Timbrens on my 3/4 ton Ford with the cabover. They sure took the tippy feeling away.
