That looks great, could you update us on if your gas mileage changes?

Not sure, I'll get some measurements of what it sits at currently for you in the next few days.

Well, according to my mpg calculator on the dash I was getting 18ish before the tires. Now I'm getting 16ish. I'm going to be filling the truck from almost empty and i'll be able to report more accurately after I go through that tank.

I keep looking at your truck I think that is going to be the tires size that I get I have the 2" kit so I shouldn't rub either.

Thanks for the mileage update, I keep thinking about getting bigger tires but don't want to lost the mileage because of it.

For a leveled truck, I think this tire size is perfect.

Well, I detail cars on the side so that's about a week worth of not washing, that color hides it well lol.

Thanks for the compliments, I have a lot more planned for the truck.

I'm also going to try to convince my buddy to go out and take some really good pictures of the truck if I can find a good background.
