I don't feel the same about a front HD sway bar. I would definitely get that now.
Thanks Ron. I agree. I just ordered the front sway bar. Found a better deal from SDTruckSprings.com for $199 ($225 w/ shipping). This should complete the suspension upgrades. But then I have new tires to look forward to next spring. I still have good tread and the sidewalls look good but they are the original 2007 Michelins.
Sounds like a good price. Good for you.
About your tires, we have 17,000 miles on our 2007 2350 and like you, we don't have any cracking of sidewalls. Given they are "E" rated tires on our light weight 9,200 pound rig (10,200-ish on trips), I don't plan on buying new tires anytime soon. Just make sure the tire pressure is maintained and they'll service us for 10-12 years. Serious sidewall or in-between-the-threads cracking would be my only reason to replace them as I don't think I'll be wearing them out.
If we lived close enough to eachother, I'd ask for your old tires to donate them to the charity I volunteer at
Willow Creek CARS Ministry. Those tires would be a real blessing to a poor handy-man with bald tires on his work van.
Do you travel my way once in a while? I live near Elgin, IL.
