II like everything about them except that you can't see quite as well with them at 4 way stops. Compared to a super duty you sit lower in the truck and can't see over the mirrors. Probably the only down side but not the end of the world. I'm running out of easy things to do on this thing.

55000 miles and both lower ball joints are loose. The left one is bad enough the tire started to wear funny. Warranty doesn't cover it so I guess I'm putting ball joints on this weekend. Anyone else had this?

I definitely agree, my old 14 F250 didn't have anywhere near the visibility issues. I wouldn't go back to standard mirrors though unless for some reason I was forced to.

Really close to pulling the trigger on some 35x12.5r20 trail grapplers. Mine are almost worn out and they're a good deal. Plus they're bigger

Have you checked out the, COOPER DISCOVERER STT PRO's ?
I have them, and love them. These are 35"x12.5" R20"

I've seen those and they look pretty cool. Only reason I was leaning towards these was because I found 5 on craigslist for $1000 that are basically new.

That is a good deal. Make sure you keep them rotated and properly inflated! They like to wear improperly if not.

Decided to pass on them because I'd have to run wheel spacers and do some trimming to get them to fit. I also realized I don't want tires that big and I'd prefer ridge grapplers at this point.
