To be honest I havent really noticed a change in mpgs. From what I've read the guys with autos lose a little and guys like me with the 6 speed gain about 1-2 mpg. Im guessing its due to the drop in rpm at freeway cruising speeds. Before I would tach at about 2500 @ 75mph and now its down to 2100-2200 at the same speed.I've also heard that the overhead computer isnt very acurate so Im going to have to do some hand calculations. My mpgs werent all that great before the lift and tires. 14 around town and 16-17 on the high way. But like I said, I dont really know how acurate that is. Plus, my truck doesnt even have 4000 mileson the clock yet so Im hoping my mpg improves as the engine breaks in. Losing the muffler, ditching the silencer ring, and installing the AEM intake isnt helping either! Its hardkeeping my foot off the peddle.

 

Nice Truck Bro!

Question: I got a 04 Ram3500 CTD 4x4 and have the 33'sx12.5R17 MT - D**K Cepek FC II's on stock suspension with no issue of rubbing. However the 33's still look tiny! My question as Inoticed you have mud-flaps on your truck. Do you have any issue with rubbing with the 35's with installatioin of your leveling kit?I am looking at upgrading to 35'x12.5R18's Toyo M/T's and just curious if I installed the 2inch kit if it would be possible to run the 35's with no rubbing.

Thanks!

 

That is the way manufactures should build trucks, nice! How long did it take you to install? Did you replace all 4 shocks or just the front? Do you know the Bilstien part #s? Do you like the handling? I just bought a leveling kit form Superlift minus shocks so…

 

It really depends on the backspacing of your wheels. Thats really the key.The H2s have the perfect backspacing to run 35s with no rubbing at all. They didnt even rub without the leveling kit. But the H2s are 17s. Im not sure about running 18s.

 

The leveling kit was really easy to install. Took me about 3 hours in my driveway. The handeling is great. I only repaced the front shocks because I plan on doing the mini pack set up in the rear. Im not sure about the part # but if you give KORE a call Im sure they can hook you up.

 

I've been looking into kore leveling kits. They recently decided to raise the price to almost $800 [:@] I was willing to pay $500-$600 range even though I thought that was a little outrageous. Now I'm sitting here thinking to myself kore can kiss my butt.
