You could box in the frame rails to take out some of that flex. I guess that you aren't required to have front license plates in AZ?

Yesterday, I achieved my second best MPG since I've had the truck. And the top number since I did all the work to it.
15.7 mpg! Running 62mph for 162 miles straight.

In all honesty, I had a decent tail wind most of the trip. But earlier when I was going the other way it was a headwind, and I still achieved 14mpg. So split the difference and call it 15 average.
On a side note, it was almost a 600 mile trip, and the truck seems to run better now than it was when I left haha.
