AH64ID, sounds good, please post us some pics when you get them mounted.

I am still debaiting on going ahead and ordering a set, the height on them sure looks good, just wish they were a little wider.

Has anyone else got a set yet?

Levi, I just wish they were about 8" wide , my 265's are 8.25 wide.

Hey kinda off the subject but I saw in your signature you have grid delete, what benefit do you get from deleting the grid heater. Might want to do it to mine???

Better flow, but mostly i didnt like the unneccesary drain on the batteries and alternator when it rarely gets below 30* where i live. The grids were always coming on when it was 40* and up to around 50*. Absolutely no need to put the strain on the electrical system for that,and thts usually the temp range in the winter time whre i live. Im working up in missouri right now and my truck fired up this morning no problem, low last night was 8*. didnt even hesitate when it fired up. I dont think you REALLY need the grids until you get closer to 0*. But then you should be plugging in anyway.

Actually coordinating RMHC Charity canister installs on 252 McDonald's all over Missouri, Been in Springfield off battlefield road last three days. We have surveyed about 31 McDonald's around the southwest MO area so far. Truck fired up great this morning, it was 5*. Little white smoke, it sure did smell good. Drove about 120 miles today in this crappy weather. **** windchill is -20

I came up through your way on my way in...Took I-24 into paduca KY and took HWY 60 all the way across, turned out to be a nice ride, very nice highway and beautiful scenery!
