Maybe he could build you a hybrid horse hauler with 10 wheel drive and a hydraulic ramp.

That's what I was thinking! Just put a custom drop hitch on the "Brodozer" and you would have the best of both worlds, still driving a Ford 6.7 and never get stuck during hunting season.

That Brodozer with 47" tires is like 60" to the bed. I've always thought folks who needed ramps for their horses to load with were whimps. But that rig probably would justify needing a ramp.

Tires show 80psi max, so I filled them all to 78-80psi. Opinions on psi with these? Also, my driver's side is rubbing the sway bar, which I assume would be normal for tires of this size, but I want to confirm that? Or is my sway bar slid too far to this side?

If your truck has leveling coils installed on the front end then the 'track bar' will pull the axle slightly to the passenger side of the truck. That's a possible reason why it's only rubbing on the drivers side.

It is my understanding that the threshold for the TPMS sensors is set at 75% of the recommended 65 psi front and 80 psi rear pressures (F-350). I like to run my rears lower than my fronts when unloaded so I retrained the system and told it that the fronts were in the rear and the rears in the front. I aired down to 80% of recommended which puts me at 64 psi for the front tires and 52 psi for the rears.
