Well, needless to say, there isn't a lot of info on SS about the 916 or 920.
But I got off my lazy butt and looked on tpub and found more then I could read (and I DID read a lot!)
It would seem the length and turning radius of the 920 is not really that much worse then the 916.
Add to that the fact that the 920's sell for less (at least the ones I was just low bidding on did.)
I like the magazine article about Soni's and the statement of using the lift axle more for holding the spare tires! LOVE that idea!
Soni, if the 16r20s would have ran smooth, would that have been your better choice?
Seems that for how I would use it, I could live with the taller tires and higher 5th wheel.
I never thought of swapping the top plate before, but I already have a complete other 5th that should work, and still work with the ramps.
And using the 920 to add a sleeper to register the truck as an RV would solve a lot of other $ issues for normal use. Something more to think about I guess.
Man, with the price of those trucks that just sold, I came very close to pulling the trigger on making the high bid!
But with the added distance to travel to get one (be it either driving back or having it hauled.) I couldn't swing that part right now.
Shame too, those were some NICE trucks that just sold!
Now, if some nice ones come up in ND or SD, I think that might swing me into getting one ASAP!
Btw, I LIKE the 915a1. But the lack of all the extra goodies is a real downer for me.
If I only wanted a straight hauling truck, that would be the way to go.
Hammer,
yeah I would have loved to keep the 16.00R20s, they looked awesome! After swaping back to the 46" tall tires it made the truck look sort of like a shopping cart for about a week, until I finally got used to the "barbie" wheels again.... LOL
At the time I had not tried "Equal" yet and that's what i run in all my tires now. So it might work fine with the 16.00R20s and Equal....I just have never tried it so far....
