her guy i was thinking of leveling the truck it a trx4 with the adjustable shocks and was wondering how muck of a loss in mpg to expect staying with the same tire at the most going to 285/70/17. also if i stay at the 2.1 setting do you think ill have any problem with the shutter, as of right now its as smooth as glass. any one with experience with this setup let me know.

 

I have the Mopar 2.5 leveling kit and I am running 34's. I lost 2.5 on the freeway and 1.5 around town. I was getting 19 highway and now I am getting 16.5, around town I was getting about 15.5 and now I get about 14. Sucks but fortunately my company pays for my fuel. I have re-calibrated my speedometer as well.

 

i have a 2" kit didnt notice any mpg loss if there was it was minimal after i switched to a more aggressive at tire i did notice about a 1-1.5 mpg drop.you shouldnt have any problem with the shudder.ive had mine on for approx 45000 miles and no problems.but some seem to have issues

 

well i already have the A/T crapyears so my mpg shouldn't be affect to much more i would think. also is anyone running 285/70/17 on the stock trx4 rim. just wondering if i could get away with them with out buying new rims that size says it needs 7.5" rims and the stock ones are 7".

 

also is there anyone running the bilstein shocks at the 2.1" setting how many mile do ya have on them and do ya recommend them. i just need the front end lifted up a little it just to low but i dont want to go all the way to a 4" lift.

 

Everyone that I have heard that has installed those Bilstein's has taken them out because of the Shutter. There is a guy on here, I think his name is SKIING or something like that, that had them on and it messed up his front end so bad he ended up just trading the truck back in and he got a 2500. Personally I would stay away from them. I would get what you can from the dealer and heve them install it. This way if you do develop an issue they have to fix it. That is what I did, however I do not seem to be having any issues.
