Does not seem to affect no-load mileage

They mount easily and do not seem to affect no-load mileage. I haven't been able to pull heavy loads or tow a trailer since installation so can't tell if they matter under load. If you only occasionally pull or tow heavy loads, you don't have to worry. about how the ride got bumpy because of those bumps when unloading. Update 4/3/2020: I've been hauling a lot of concrete lately and pulling a medium-duty trailer (3500#), mostly with a lot of tongue weight. With 1200# concrete in the bed of a truck and a trailer loaded with about 2400# concrete (good axle balance, about 60% forward, 40% backward), my F-150 doesn't "look" like as if he were loaded all. Now it doesn't sag anymore. With factory 1200# shocks in the truck bed alone, it would be enough to buckle. Just for a smile (well maybe because I'm tired) I put 8 80# bags of concrete right in the back door instead of in front of the bed as usual. It's 640# behind the axle and the truck hasn't sagged at all. (didn't drive far or faster than 35 mph) With those shocks and 10 ply tires you really can't tell when the truck has reached its maximum load capacity.
