I like them a lot. Two things I really appreciate over the BFG's they replaced are they are truly 37" not undersized like BFG sizes and they are quiet on the road. That hum hum noise gets tiring when you drive 3 hours a day!

I spent some time under the hood trying to figure out why I have hesitation/bogging (V10). I've been pulling my hair out with this one. Found one coil that wasn't seated to great, had to go and buy a new bolt for it as the one that was in there was somehow bent. Got that done, no change. UGH...

Sadly the X was running GREAT after we changed the plugs/boots. Then I got the 5 star tune and whamo it was AWESOME. Then one day it was like someone flipped a switch and now it runs like poop in comparison ...

Could be someone like my former neighbor. He pressure washes every piece of equipment after each use. **** yes, but everything he has is showroom new looking, even 20 years after the showroom.

My cats lick themselves. I usually don't have to pressure wash them.

Per my findings, yes it will...

Since you have a 4 inch lift, you won't have a problem lifting your hind-end to J.Lo status

Btw, the RAS seems to have settled in after a few good drives and MAN does it feel awesome!

Truck feels way more confident on the road and is way more controlled around corners and over bumps and the like...
