Perfectly tuned. Did the lift and tires make your gas mileage worse? I drive the same truck but in blue and manual transmission. I have put a leveling kit on it, and did not see a decrease in gas mileage.
i havent exactly checked my gas mileage because i never fill my tank im too cheap its always like 15-20 bucks in the tank at a time. most likely it has gotten worse but i dont notice a difference. There is a little difference in acceleration but once up to speed its fine. The tires are pro comp 33X12.50R17 on procomp alloy rims. i personally dislike these pics i was just excited so i posted them. next time i have the camera out ill shoot better pics these look like crap. i now have tire shine so they dont look like blue haha. if interested in tires i would say go 4 wheel parts they helped me out big time gave me a killer deal. everythin plus mount and balence and tire warrenty for under $1400 plus i got a $100 rebate
I just got a set of pro comp all terrains in 35x12.5 R17 on stock rims. I do not notice any loss in power , but did want to find out if anyone has figured out the gas mileage
its a 3 inch spindle kit from from Rough Country, bot from topguncustoms.com. they also call it a 3 inch drop spindle cause the spindles being lowered 3 inches.
heres some better pics -
heres the far away shot
looks good...I installed mine about 2 weeks ago. Perfectlytuned, I didn't put the rear blocks in the back however because if I did, the back end would be higher than the front...did you put the blocks in yours?
i have 19 icnh rims similar to those black ones....but chrome....my tires are all 33in....didnt ever drive it b4 the change but bumps r nothn with the tires...and i love how the truck look when it sits a lil higher
im not a fan of black rims, but you two have good lucking lifts!!! and do the trucks pull nicely still even with the v6? lets keep this threa don the dl, the douche bag 4x4 owners will come over and try bashing you guys.
