Re: New EzFender Boat Puller
Truck update. Front end is leveled, added the AirLift kit to the rear springs, AFE Cold air kit is installed the Diablo Intune programmer is set up with a DiabLew Custom Program. Next....Tires, trying to decide on which to go with.
Pulled the boat yesterday. just to get a good feel for it. Pulls very nice! The AirLift rear suspension, is worth the money. $210.00 with a $50.00 rebate. If your doing any serious pulling, look into this. Eliminates all sway and jounce bumper strikes. With 35 pounds of air, it rides good un-loaded and suspension squatted about 1/2 and inch when I hooked up the trailer. Love it!
And no more ugly 4x4 stickers on the quarters!
Next for boat, matching stripes to the color of the truck.

Re: New EzFender Boat Puller
I am planning on at least leveling it and getting some wheels and tires. Something like this minus the bull bar. (A truck I found online)Bryden24shp wrote:Nice!

Re: New EzFender Boat Puller
Ya... When can we start!!! I thought about goin alittle crazy on mine, but, since its a daily driver and my tow vehicle for long tows, I thought I'ld keep this one perty mild. My white 03, was simply a blast! I could roast all 4 in 4high and the up shift tire scratches were fantastic. Too much money invested and too little received from the insurance company after the idiot totaled it. Just don't pay to play sometimes....
Thinkin the tires will be it, for awhile, anyway!

Re: New EzFender Boat Puller
Great rig man. If you ever want to come on over and pull mine, it sure would match my toon. 
Re: New EzFender Boat Puller
Really nice looking truck!
Oh, and I agree with Air Lift. I have this on my Silverado (which is lowered 6", with other performance upgrades) and it essentially turns my truck into a 1 ton. 35psi is what I run when pulling the toon as well. I run 20psi in the winter, for a nice smooth ride. Really helps the truck stick in the corners too.

Re: New EzFender Boat Puller
Got home from work at 0530 this morning and saw that Santa came (no not the way, you perves!) and dropped off my new towing mirrors. Too excited to sleep, I just had to put them on. I think we are ready to hit the road to Lake of the Ozarks in 2 weeks. I pulled the boat for about 50 miles last week, just to make sure it felt good with all additions. It does! The air bags in the back make all the difference in the world! The new tires work great. The Diablo In-tune is set with the 5 different programs, 2 custom programs, one for the best performance and economy and one for towing. I'm getting 21 MPG on the highway with the first and 13.5 MPG towing. Both programs have the DOD disabled. I'm really pleased with it.
Here's pics of the new mirrors! Gotta hit the sack, have to go back to work in 2 hours!

Re: New EzFender Boat Puller
That looks good. I would like to add that type of mirror to my 2007 F150 Crew cab 4X4. Boy howdy, I wish I could get 13.5 mpg pulling my 20' toon. I am only getting 8 mpg.Bryden24shp wrote:Got home from work at 0530 this morning and saw that Santa came (no not the way, you perves!) and dropped off my new towing mirrors.
