Re: what ramp do you use for your lifted trucks?
I bought a ramp end kit from lowe's and mounted them on 2 x12's. 12 ft long. I went with the 2x12's to give me alittle extra to stand on. I have a lifted toyota with 35's and this works well. i even drilled and pined the ends to keep them from sliding on the tail gate. I have had no problem loading my 02 ninja.

Re: what ramp do you use for your lifted trucks?
I bought a pair of 7' long arched ramps made for lawnmowers....I walk up one and idle the bike up the other.
works great and only rubbed on a F4i with an FI cage
and I'm loading it up into a 05 superduty with a 6" lift and 37's

.......unfortunately I paid 4.59/gallon for diesel thoI have pretty much the same ramp setup.
You are getting a bargain on fuel. It's like $4.79 here, but I get about the same milage you do and it is cheaper than driving a gasser extended cab F150. I did the math and as long as diesel isn't $1.50 more than gas it is cheaper.

That looks perfect with 6"/37's.

I'm happy with my truck....for the size, the lift, the 14.5" width of the tires and aerdynamics of a brick wall.... I can't complain about the mileage at all. plus, with my custom tunes from innovative diesel my truck will roll coal, roast the tires for days, and outrun 95% of the trucks on the road around here!
I'm considering going to 35's on my next set of tires if it would help mileage at all.....plus they're alot cheaper than the $515 per tire these damn Toyo's are!!!!!!
