    Lift and tires. Need help

    I agree with Bob. Your truck does look good. Makes me wish i had gone with that size... What's the offset on your wheels? Do you get much rubbing?

    Lift and tires. Need help

    I completely understand, but it was pretty easy for me to justify the larger tires once I actually looked at the cost of gas. We will probably only drive the truck 8500 miles a year, at the very most and that includes short summer/winter road trips. Average 87 gas is around $3.00 around here...

    Lift and tires. Need help

    This conversation has been eye opening! It speaks again for my inexperience... I guess all that's left for me to do until I am ready to go for a custom lift is to drive carefully and hope ReadyLift honors its warranty, which is similar to what you get with ProComp and Rough Country suspension...

    Lift and tires. Need help

    I took a pretty significant hit in mpg. Was averaging around 16.5 before, and now 14 or up to almost 15 when I drive very easy, which is almost never

    Lift and tires. Need help

    Sorry for the late reply. Work had me in early and out late for the last few days, so I wasn't able to take any pics. To answer the question about smaller lug nuts, the stock lugs don't fit in the wheel... The stock lugs are a little too wide. I went from using 21mm socket nut to a 19mm. The...

    Hi, OP and forum! I am new posting, but I have been checking the forum out for various reasons over the last 2+ months/3500 miles since I bought my used 2016 XLT EL with tow package, nav. leather... Lots of good information to be found in these forums and lots of people willing to help. As to...
