Cool 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Leveled on Terra Grapplers

This is phase 1 to my modifications, I want to keep it pretty simple and subtle at this point due to not wanting to compromise my factory warranty.

This week had the 2" leveling kit installed on the front only, and the 295/60 R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers on the stock 20" rims. The ride on the tires is pretty good and not too much road noise. However, a very noticeable change in fuel consumption, I would say between 2-3 MPG.

Future mods are;
-Front window tint
-Low profile black diamondplate tool box
-PlastiDip wheels black (maybe)
-1" wheel spacers to kick out stance a little (maybe)

I would not go with wheel spacers. Seems to risky after reading about them. If you want to get some of your mpg back, get a superchips cortex programer and tune it to economy. On freeway driving im getting 15 mpg. I have mine tuned on economy any my speedo set to my tires and gears. (speedo is correct per gps now).

Check your local laws before adding spacers. Some localities frown on tires outside the wheel wells.

Looks good! I'll be getting the Trail Graps for mine. I was gonna say if you wanted the wheels to stick out more just go with a negative offset on the new wheels.
