Thanks for posting. Love to here more on what you're decision is re add-on's after your next trip. While I like the 9000xl's, three of my four originals died after not very much TC time The nobs seized and I believe some of the seals blew. Sencond set was free under warranty, but have to pay to install. Haven't had time to TC so need to crawl under and see if the knobs are still OK. Hope so. :) I have Firestone bags as well. They are nice to have and easy to use. (There on a 98 GM2500 4x4, 3500# alloys, E rated rubber, wheels spaced out wider then stock. with a 10.5' older Okanagan.)
