We ordered a Hallmark Milner and we will take delivery on next November. My 2007 Tundra had 170k and I did not think I should subject it to that much weight with the two of us(not too heavy) and camping equipment. I think this F 250 allows us to not worry about the weight and provide some additional level of safety. We will be able to take more stuff, within reason.

You wont regret the beefer truck, especially in a critical braking situation. If it still has oem shocks, they are probably ready for replacement. My F250s factory shocks were shot with 40k miles on them.

Congrats on ordering a Hallmark and getting your Super Duty. That is a great combination (I have that too!)

 

I second replacing the shocks. I replaced mine with Bilstein 5100’s and have been happy

I am looking at the Bilsteins. Can I do the 4600s in the front and the 5100s for the rear?

My intel is that the 4600s and the 5100s are essentially valved the same, with the 5100s being longer for lifted applications. But I could be wrong…I frequently am! I’ll bet ntsqd has some insight regarding this.
