My old excursion springs and my new F-250 springs are 3" wide.
I didn't zing you Josh did. I was just commenting on his zing. Which was quite a zinger. I think y'all need to arm wrastle at the next dinner.

You like your toyo tires Dustin? I'm thinking about the open country mt's. They get good online reviews. I've never had any toys on any vehicle so I don't have any personal experience.

So far no issues at all, ride decent, toyo mts are very popular, very good tire. Paid like $820 or so out the door, but the place I got em from did a crap balance job.

I'd kind of like to get my hands on a set of those old hubcaps that came on the trucks. Though I still have those 16.5 in wheels and I'm still thinking about putting some 37's on them. It's a tough call.
I really think the next warm day I have I want to pull the fuel rail. After seeing Wesley's and knowing what has come out of my fuel filter, I really think I'm going to find something that isn't supposed to be there.
