Also, I never put anything in the bed of the truck. I don't want to scuff up the bed liner. Biggest thing I've ever hauled was three sacks of groceries, in the back seat.

I put some mounting points in the bed of my truck so I can attach seats for my kids. They have seat belts, and are facing backwards, and are up near the cab so they won't get bugs in their face. The little one has a tough time climbing into the bed so I have to lift the little bugger up there. It's only 4 feet. Kid needs to learn pull-ups.

I never got the point of lift kits (besides being a type of compensation). The axle is still the same height. You can't 4-wheel and drive over bigger obstacles. You just raised the center of gravity making it more prone to rolling over. Put some monstrous tires on that if you want more clearance.

Sarah Cenia posted:i left the tailgate down for aerodynamics In a college thermodynamics course this question came up and the professor was all, "Welp, anyone have a truck outside?" We got measuring tapes and went and measured the poo poo out of that truck. Length, width, weight, size of the tailgate, etc. Got the weight out of the owner's manual. The professor then made an entire lesson on the spot on how to build the proper equations for the aerodynamics and fuel economy, etc. That was our homework, and of course everyone meets together in study groups to figure all this poo poo out. Probably 3 study groups and a couple of folks that worked it solo. Next class we all presented our results and every group and person had come to the same conclusion. Up or down, it affects the fuel economy by about one millionth of a percent. Fake edit: one group also studied how it affected the handling of the vehicle on the road. Either way, it didn't matter.
