Turbo --> :-)
I love it also!
My setup will also be 17 or 18'' wheels depending of what I find in the size I want.

Sweet Looking Setup-->
Please be Brutally Honest, Compared to the stock setup that came with your truck...How is the ride now in the seat of your pants?
Why did you go with 17" wheels, when 20" seems so popular with the crowd at this site? (I love the look)
Do the huge sidewalls make the ride more Bouncy?
Have you checked your gas Milage the old fashion way, instead of using the Ford Computer (My Ford Mustang Computer Lies to me!)?

Honestly, the ride isn't bad at all. When I got the tires mounted on the rims, Discount put 35 PSI in them (too low for me), but holy cow did it ride like a cloud haha. I upped it to 45 PSI since then. It's a bit stiffer, but still very comfortable.
I went with 17's because I like more tire, less rim. The fact that everybody and their mother does 20's is just more reason for me to go 17's. I don't want to be like everybody else. I love getting compliments on my truck and breaking necks when I'm driving around haha.
I don't know if bigger sidewalls make the ride more bouncy, but my truck isn't bouncy at all. If the road is bad, I feel it. But the ride didn't really change much from stock to be honest.
I ALWAYS check my gas mileage the old fashioned way, always have. I never trust the lie-o-meter, because well it lies haha. I always reset trip A after every fill up. Whatever my truck says is usually about 1 MPG high. I'm averaging 16 - 16.5 MPG with the new set up, and my trip shows 17 - 17.5 MPG. Although the lie-o-meter is closer than any other lie-o-meter I've had, it's still not 100% accurate.

Do you have any rubbing?
How about the Crash bars I keep reading about needing modification when Lifting/Leveling?
Did you do anything in the rear (Blocks, Shocks, etc)?
Speedometer Recalibrated?
