Hey John!
Wow...a pre-mager!! I have to drive mine for a couple weeks to get over your
mileage ;) lol That's the problem when you drive 100 miles per day between
the office and home. Yes I could move, but I could also by a economy car ;)
The Dak is too much fun to not drive!

Good morning to you to, Sean!
Thanks, that's pretty much the way I've got mine set up, except I've got
more weight. So as long as I have the Goodyears I guess it won't get any
better.
I just noticed from your sig that your '01 has over twice as many miles as
my '00, and my wife says I am keeping the roads hot! But we do have an '89
that we got in a trade for my '96 for my boy that does have 257,000 miles on
the v6!

Good Morning John!
I have typically put 3-80lb sand bags in the back. I have made an H-shaped
framing out of 2X4's that capture the wheel wells. I place the sand directly
over the wheels. This way I still have room for the groceries, bowling
balls, and if I'm lucky the golf clubs.
The ride is smoothed out a bit. Basically, the wheel hop is eliminated when
getting on him hard. These Michigan roads are a great test for any
shock/spring combination ;)
With the 4.7L, I barely notice the extra weight.
One thing I have done in the past is switched the wheels between my '92 and
'01. The reasoning was simply the tire tread. I have to say that the '92
looks really sharp with the 16in wheels and the wide stance. The appearance
is taken away from the '01, but the aggressive tread (General Grabbers)
really makes the difference in the slush.
HTH!
