Added some new wheels
My wife and I were cruising along the interstate in our beloved 2011 F350 SRW when we suddenly experienced a tread separation blowout (stock Michelins with good tread left). We were thankfully able to get to the side of the road without injury but the incident left us somewhat shaken as wifey often uses the truck to tow her horse around for amateur show events.

Our solution? Add more tires.

New baby after first bath...

Congrats on the truck and welcome aboard.

Welcome also to the dually club. Truck looks good.

The front fender flares look larger than most F-350's. They appear to be like the ones used on F-450's. Is your dually a F-350 or F-450? Maybe FOMOCO is putting larger fender flares on the 350's nowadays.

Good eye, it is indeed a 450. I traded in the 350 after the nasty blowout and bumped up to a 450 in the process. I miss my old baby and I'll never be able to use a drive-thru again, but I also won't have to worry about trailer weight.

Thanks all for the kind comments. Another couple hundred miles and she'll be all broken in for some trailer hauling.

Have you figured the MPG different from your old truck to this 4.33 rear end one. I for one would like to know, thank you.
