I got mine at Dicount Tire Direct as well. They run like $127 each. So far I got my rears at 30psi and the front at 33 and that looks pretty good to me. Seems to ride a little better too.

Nope, but I also put in the Ford keys and leveled out the front end. IIRC the bottom of the front fenders are at about 38" from the ground.
But no rubbing at all.

iirc = if I recall
ford keys are the torsion bar keys, stock ones are adjustable, the ones from ford f150's also fit the chevy 1500 and allow for more adjustments(crank it higher).
I think he meant the the top center of his fenders are 38"

Yup exactly, except that I did mean 38" from the ground to the bottom of the front fender, right dead center above tire.

I have Dueler A/T 589's right now, I might try the Dueler A/T Revo for a few reasons. 1. Have a nail in one tire and a road hazard war. that should cover some $. 2. I am hoping to get a discount because the tires wore out so fast. I think they have a 50000 mile war. So maybe I can get a 4 new tires for $300-$400 and the Revos are a different tread and compound than the 589's. It will be worth a shot, but if I can't get a deal I will go somwhere else. Has anyone else had problems with their 285 Duelers wearing out fast? I know a s-load of people with 265 Duelers and they last forever.
