3100 miles? You attending WCBF?!
Never hurts to carry a spare of everything on a journey like that! and an AAA membership!
Safe journey.

I'd set it at zero bubble myself which is probably closest to the factory setting, no?
ELC will compensate for any additional weight load in the rear of the vehicle which is the intended design feature, right? Oh yeah, Bill, have a good & a safe trip. Catch ya on the rebound.

- me. He doesn't smoke though, and definitely energy drinks will be the beverage of choice until we arrive. It looks like we'll be cruising down I90 then cut due West on I84 most of the way...

Before any long trip, I always check the air pressure in the spare tire and make sure it'* right. Also make sure all the parts to your tire jack are really present and accounted for.

do NOT go over 75 in ohio IMO, or the trip will start to cost you a lot more.
