Sorry I am referring to the wheels and tires. Where did you get them and a link if possible

I just put some Konig Heliograms with 235/55/18 Nokian Outpost APTs on today. Wheels were 10lbs lighter per wheel than the stock 18" BAP wheels and tires are 5lbs heavier than stock. So a total of 20lbs of unsprung weight reduction.

Does the weight loss make any noticeable difference?

I agree. Stupid choice for a bolt pattern. I may try to find some Volvo wheels. Some of the new CUV/SUV options aren't bad looking.

I don't know where you have been looking, but Tire Rack has 100s of wheels that fit our trucks. The last ten years or so many Ford cars and SUVs have used this stupid bolt pattern. I have some 19" 2013 Ford Fusion wheels I think I'll be using this summer (with different tires, obviously). I got these nice 17" Borbets from Tire Rack just recently:

It seems more responsive. Maybe a little more pep in accelerating and handles a little better. But it could be my imagination since I didn't really push the truck before swapping the wheels and tires. But I know reducing rotational and unsprung weight really have helped my track toys in the past.
