Wow! Those are nice Hot rod. And the size is more scaled to what would fit in my application. For those prices, I can't believe I didn't look into this before I bought a pickup. Now I'm depressed.

BlizzardND, thanks for the info. I started looking at some of the class 8 threads to see some fuel mileages. Looks like the 7's is common?
