yeah I'm just worried about the side walls on the duals rubbing and causing a blow out I kinda wish it wasn't a dually some times but I can't complain it's an amazing first truck it's well worth the hard work I'm putting in around the farm and just incase there's ppl reading this and thinking his rich parents bought if for him I say to you I've work long and hard for three years for this truck and it means more to me since I earned it and didn't just go out and pick it out so to speak...do you know of anywhere I could get some tow mirrors for a good price? anyone around here wants $219 a side
