    Rusty not sure about the polka dots, but you are right the titanium Bilsteins are a bit on the bling side. Almost hurt my eyes when the guys were doing the install. I really trust the advice of the Truck, Stuff and More and make a 4-hour roundtrip to reach them. I am not as handy as most of...

    Additional comment about mpg. These numbers come from looking at the trucks computer account and not numbers from my gas notebook. I am going to followup with doing the math in that.

    Good morning. Again, the gas mileage was garnered from elevations and Western winds. Actually winds and rain started from the time I left Pennsylvania. I averaged in a loaded truck going out about 19 + mpg. And on the return, close to 14 mpg. I returned through Yellowstone and Montana.
