I do come to a stop before I switch. It was the worst I felt it the last snow it rolled a good 2ft before i put my foot on the break again and was like wtf did I miss drive?! Ill letcha know if I want to go for a spin, let me know if you need a hand with yours obviously!
I can get exact weight differences tonight. But I ran the tires before I lifted and mpg only went down ~1. They are 34x11.5's so they're not god awful heavy. Actually the same set I ran on my Yota for the light weight. I thought about the air under as well... I threw the silly air dam back on and it made no difference but I do have plans for skid plates so ill have to wait and see for that. Still need to pick up some material. Ratio is 3.55 with the LSD.
I still have to upload some files to superchips and call them back. They want to dig through the files from the truck and see whats up. I think they're more interested in the +10mph I was seeing on the dash. If nothing ill go speak to Ford about the R to D lag and see if I can squeeze out a free reflash

Ok weighed the new vs stock. 95.6lb vs 70.2lb so im looking at an inch of tire and 25lb more a pc. My father put the tires on his f150 and got 14 mpg. I got 22 with the stockers...
Shoulda kept my yota. That heavy armored beast got 16 on the highway with the same exact tires. Why the mpg is that far off im unsure. 13 to 22 is a steep jump...

I thought that as well... but I would really hate to see what this truck gets pulling 5k lb's over an extra 100lb of tire. Ill post updates as I go from here. I got an Ultragauge im going to calibrate for the tires to see how skewed the dash #'s are. Got a long trip this weekend so the stock tires will stay on for the pavement pounding till im back

Are you free later on today? I've got a scraping sounds coming from my front passenger side, I think its just a rock still in the caliper shield but Sheehy won't take it until morning.. If not no big deal just Figured I'd ask. My driveway is gravel and sucks to lift on

Well the truck was at ford the past two days. TPMS light kept coming on while I was driving down the highway... stock tires. They also checked into the R to D lag and said they couldnd find anything wrong... so its prob just the way it is. They also checked the software(flash) and everything was good. So ill just suck it up. Maybe ill keep an eye out for some different gears.
Swapping my tpms sensors to the new wheels. They come out pretty easy and the stems fit the new tires. Swapped a set for a pressure test until tomorrow. I know your not supposed to reuse them but its been done before with no ill effect. Plus its no big deal since I have a tire changer
Picked these up as well. Just need to sell my old winch and get a bigger one next

The TPMS sensor move works ok... No leaks or anything. Only thing I noticed is the light comes on again after the tire heats up. Pressure goes too high. I cant freaking win 
I did take a video ill post up at some point of me doing a swap for anyone that dosnt mind picking up some tools.
Did a flex test and everything looks good. Lines are all slack. Some progress! Also installed an Ultragauge
