How does the small lift effect your fifth wheel hookup? Still got plenty of clearance for your kingpin?

I went with 1/2" spacers on factory rims.....Thats what I had on my other dully..Thought hard about putting the 3 1/2" spacers, but that would make those rear tires really stick out... Never had any problems with the tires rubbing each other unless I had a real heavy load on my gooseneck.....I never had them rub on my 5er.. I have not hooked up 5er on this truck yet....

What a Beast!!!
Thanks for sharing & welcome to FTE!
That winch would of come in handy this weekend for retrieving a 4-wheeler, over the side into the river, rider intact. I know who to call next time...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but... Awesome truck! Two questions: first, how is durability on the road armor bumpers? Are they going to dent when I hit a deer? Second, how do you like your aux fuel tank? Any issues with it things to consider before getting one? Thanks!

Durability???? of the Road Armour bumpers..... I have never hit anything with my bumpers, but I really don't think they will dent hitting a deer... They are real stout....I love the look on my truck, I get lots of thumbs up on the highway.... Aux Tank...... I like the look of it in the bed. It sits even with the top of the bed. It holds 50 gallons of fuel and has enough room to carry everything I need PLUSE more in the toolbox and I carry a lot. The only thing about my set up that I could do without is that the aux tank is set up to pump automatic. I wish it would be just gravity feed. And No you do not have to keep it full of fuel all the time.. But to answer your question. NO it has never given me any trouble. I bought my truck in Oct or Nov last year. I got little over 16K trouble free miles. If you got any other question just ask. Everyone on FTE willing to help.....
