My TC is now riding on its new truck

Didn't you just get 19.5 on the old 6.0?

Nice setup..only thing I would do is remove the chrome fender strips and rain gutters.

Does every truck made have it's fuel cover in line with the front tie-downs?

My fuel door is blocked with the Northstar popup as well. I put a FastGun with a lock on it and the way I look at it is that it's my locking gas cap. Also a good reminder to go around and check all the tie-downs before I head out for another 300 miles...

Buzz, do the upper stable loads help with side to side sway? Why do you need the lower? Do they help with rear squat? We're still considering them but don't know what we need. No helpful dealers here. We have to rely on the TC forum for assistance.

BTW, that's a show stoppin' rig. Your horses will be hauled with style!

the ride with just the upper stable loads is perfect with just the Lance. When I add in 7000 pounds of trailer and the associated tongue weight it is going to need some suspension help.

Jefe There is 5" between the clearance lights and the bottom of the cabover. I don't thing we will have an issue.

Buzz,
That is one purdy rig you have there. You are going through the 'period of adjustment' all of us go through when changing trucks or campers, and this usually happens on the fly.
I would not be afraid to take a 4 month, fall/winter trip around the U.S. with that set up: Enough wallerin' room to go the distance in style. How's the roof clearance with those big rig clearance lights up top? Fords tend to have a more malleable frame than Dodge or GM making that clearance more crucial, especially with a big, heavy rig.

Pretty nice setup. You may have to invest in a five gallon bucket of chrome polish. Lot's of shine on that truck. : )

Thanks for all the nice complements

So I really got to take it for a subjective drive today (after the wow factor of the first drive). It felt spongy, side wall spongy, I was going to fill up the dualls more when I noticed that the inner and outer tire on the passenger side were not lined up to allow access to the inner valve stem. Off to Les Schwab I went. They not only jacked up the truck and realigned the valves but they checked all the tires for wear, looked at the rim ratings and went to their load inflation chart. They pronounced me seriously under inflated for the load and made the correction to all my tires. Headed back out and hey its a nice solid ride. Did my first Regen with the camper on. So much for the Talon decal on the exhaust side, it melted right off. This set up is so dang nice to drive....I think I really just spoiled myself

At the barn just after driving through the field of deep woodchips where I would put my SRW in 4x4 and the new truck just floated across

Looking good buzz...congrats.
