Hmmm, if the bathroom scale is to be trusted, it looks like only 16 lbs got redistributed! (1060 from BenK's comments vs the 1076 from my weighing).
While my numbers may be suspect, after draining water, it looks like tongue lightened up the 200 lbs I anticipated it would (45 gal tank, mid-way between wheels and tongue). That means I'm at 7366/872 or 11.8% with empty tanks. At that configuration, I can bring the front fenders completely back to original height. With the water, I can only restore them to 50%, but that is Ford Spec.
BenK - Andersen has you tighten the WD chains, so "fully set" means tightened as tight as I can possibly get them with the current wrench!
So....what tires would you recommend I should have gotten? Costco has a pretty generous return policy!
In any event, I just ordered the ProPride, for good or bad or waste of money.....will just have to see what happens at the 11.8% weight with that!
At least they have a 60 day return policy.
