Very nice set up there!!!! Pretty close to what I'm looking for. Any idea on rear gear ratio? Any round numbers on MPG? Is your outfit spring suspension or air ride? Does it ride rough when not towing?

I get about 10.5 mpg. The rear suspension is air but it’s not for shock absorption, it’s to keep the drive line level. Most MDT’s will have near rock hard suspension. The ride is not so bad, the cab has air ride and seats also have air suspension. Even the hitch has air bags. I don’t mind driving my truck anywhere. It’s no wider than an LDT dually. It is longer than a LDT, but turns shorter than my old F-350. I'm not sure about the rear running gear, I'll look tomorrow. It's dark and darn cold outside now....:B
