id say sport all the way!! thats coming out of a MI winter also. with 80% highway driving.

i think 2 things really help the front end not getting messed up .

1. the truck is so much faster, its never behind anything..... lol. j/j

seriously though. even in stock height, w/20's it sits so high the front end isnt low enough to take big time damage like honda's, sports cars etc.

also, changing 1 driving habit could save your vehicle by a ton. tailgating on the highway, (i.e. 10ft. off the guys bumper) will sandblast a painted bumper.

especially if you think your going to lift it, i say for sure get the sport.

if you are going to go in the woods, get the chrome...

That's so true. It's just really hard to do in metro commuting. Not that I drive 10 ft off their bumper, but if you leave a couple car lengths between cars someone will just fill it in. It's the nature of rush hour.

Having the ScotchCal paint protection does wonders to save the paint when you have to drive in conditions like that. I put it on every vehicle I get.

yeah, i live in metro detroit.... lol. BUT dont drive in rush hour usually because of my work hours...

i have used the "clear bra" on other vehicles and had good results, but i think im gonna pass on this truck because of its high ride height..
