I know, we hand calculate each time we fill up. I'll have to look to see the tire size. They're the a/t hankooks.

You gained just shy of 3/4" in overall height. Your speedometer (and odometer) will by off by 4.5%, so at 70 mph indicated on your speedometer, you are actually traveling 73 mph. Also guys, keep in mind to use this correction factor when hand calculating your gas mileage.

So if your odometer says your traveled 300 miles, you really traveled 313.5 miles (300×1.045). Make sure you use this corrected number to get your accurate mpg when dividing by gallons used.

Thanks! I trying to decide whether or not to remove the SPORT decal on the bed-sides. What do you think?

That looks sharp. There is just something about the classic look of a regular cab truck.

On the decals, I have thought about removing the FX4 from mine. However, as the saying goes, time flies. It has been a year already since I have it and I guess it's best to leave them on now. Someone suggested that if I removed them now after all this time that it may leave a shadow since the rest of the paint may have faded some by now and it would show. Not sure if there's any truth to that but, not taking a chance.

I bought them along with the tires from a member here on the F-150 Forum. I had to drive 10 hours round trip but it was worth it.
