Re: new 1500

OK, it took a while but here they are. And sorry about crowding in on your thread?!?
I was thinking 2"/4" drop but yours looks pretty good with the 4"/6". I am just not sure on the C-notch?
It had 39 miles on it when we got it home, 280(ish) on it now. So after 1/2 tank of 60/40 freeway/city (give or take) it came out to just about 18.5 mpg.
We are leaving for Whistler BC before noon tomorrow so I should be able to get a better gauge of freeway mpg although we will have 3 mt. bikes on a hitch mounted bike rack and all our gear for 4 nights and 5 days of riding.
That 18.5 sure looks a lot better than 12.5 or 12.9 from my other two trucks!

BTW, I noticed that the truck seems to shimy and shake a little bit when hitting rough patches of road. Will the suspension soften some as it breaks in, or is this what a these trucks drive like?
