I think I forgot to mention that I'm also including a Rig'd Ultra Swing to carry the full size spare, which has a new tire on it.

The Ultra Swing has a table on it too - best way to carry a full time spare!

I’m surprised you’re running 40’s and stock gearing. Care to share the reasoning behind that?
I didn’t think AEV built those trucks without a gear swap to at least 4:10’s

I believe they did regear the 4th gen’s as part of the conversion. However there was no aftermarket gearing options for these 5th gen’s when this was built. And it’s been a while since I checked around but as of last year I still don’t think there were any regear options for these trucks. I’m not well versed but was told that Ram changed something which made manufacturing aftermarket gearing difficult.

With that said, it drives great with the stock gearing. No complaints.

I know the rig isn't for fuel economy. But just for fun what does something like this get for mpg?

A solid 1,000 mile average is usually around 12.5. I typically do 80 on the highway - of 85 if it’s legal. If I keep it below 75, I can see 14. I’ve done upper 60’s with a tailwind and have seen 15’s.
