I'm getting ready to put on another set of tyres (in a week or so)... and just noticed a slight vibe starting to show its ugly head... seems like a front right wheel hop... i guess I'm up for a set of shock also
Other than having to come up with the $$$, I can't complain.
I've got 78k out of my BFG's, and 111k from Rancho RS5000's.

Fine, didnt notice a difference, top end picked up nice especially in the 3800-5000 range. However I can say it has more power when its warmer out while also at operating temp and I'm going to attribute that to the IAT relocate and the fact the air isn't getting warmed by the coolant.
Last couple days I did timing chain and sprockets, new water pump, new thermostat, new hoses, coolant flush, and new damper. Only problem was, the damper Napa sold me was for a 5.9 which caused the engine to shake. Didn't figure it out until guy at Autozone did some digging and said there's no replacement damper for the 5.2 and what I had was for the 5.9. Sure it looked different but lots of parts look different from OEM. So I had to remove the new/wrong damper and stick on the old. Works great. Not much difference in performance but it was a heck of a job. Would not recommend for the casual DIY-er.
first road trip with the truck...
from NJ to CT to visit family for a day round trip of 350 miles
added my SCT tuner and 50mm TB back in winter and just before leaving I
finally installed my 10" air cleaner with an accel 10" x 2.75" filter
happily I went 275 miles before filling up took 19.14 gallons 14.83MPG
so I still had about 7 gallons left in the tank.. before SCT and AC
last long run of 75 miles each way only gave me 11.23 MPG..
I have to add I also kept it right at 2k rpm with the cruise set
which is about 73 mph so maybe that was the difference also
