Leveled out & 33s

So I just thought id share with everybody the new tires I put on my truck. I got the 4.2 v6 with 3.31 LS gears, I put a 2.5 AS leveling kit on it and the tires are 33/12.50/17 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws.....Pics arent the best, but new ones on the way, so check it out and tell me what ya think!

when it was bone stock, no mods at all


Flowmaster Dual, AS 2.5 leveling kit, and little bit bigger tires and chrome wheels


same chrome rims with 33in Mickey thompsons installed

Looks good, really adds to your truck. Are those Ford stock chrome rims? If so, are they still 7.5" wide?

Im saving up to get it regeared, right now its not to bad, yea I cant get down on it but ive never been one to try and race. Being that i have a 5-speed I think its easier for the truck to get rollin since I can go through the gears as needed........as far as gas mileage, before I put these tires on my truck I could get around 210 miles out of a half a tank, and now depending on if I drive just to work on the highway I can get 200miles out of a half a tank, if im just driving around town I get 175miles out of a half a tank.

Have you done a speedometer/odometer correction since you put the 33's on?
