    I have a dealer less than 3 miles from my house... supposedly. but they dont answer the phone.. or respond to messages. so. I reached out to Roam directly. hopefully they will respond. soon. I need a tent to finish the rack to make sure the mounts align.

    EXCURSIONS AND F-250's sound off!!

    if you're going slow.. the 5160's are the way to go. the larger fox shocks are only workable due to heat build up from fast usage and the 5160's are pretty close.. ive run them and never regretted it.. and since the truck is mostly on road daily driver. I personally feel the money is better...
