  1. Alright fellas, I have read every post on this board regarding the Bilsteins and I believe I have the right set up in mind but would like some feedback. My goal maybe counter-intuitive, but I would like to keep the rake and and would like to achieve a smoother more controlled ride with minimal impact to MPG. The only thing keeping me from the Bilsteins Leveling shocks is that they only provide 1.8" of lift, and I do not find that Bilstein makes a 5100 in a non ride height adjustable shock and have been advised not to use them on the lowest setting in conjunction with a spacer. My Current Truck is the crew max tow without the Rancho Shocks If I have done my research appropriately (reading other Members Posts) the below set up should give me exactly what I want with little to no MPG impact Any feedback would be greatly appreciated Bilstein 4600 front Pro Comp (63235) 2.25" Level Lift (2.25 appeals greatly to me and I am not a fan of Rancho products) 2" Rear Block Bilstein 5100 rear Later add 275/60/20 Ms2's Larger diameter than my Eagle's but the same weight and I love this tire, many members say this size and tire does not impact their MPG.

  3. I was thinking the same thing, but would winterblend really drop my mileage by 5 mpg?
  4. Hey fellas, I have noticed a pretty significant mileage drop on my 2014 Crew 5.3 3.42 pick up. I drive about 30 miles/day 99% freeway. When I first got the truck I was averaging anywhere between 20-21 daily, however just in the past couple of weeks my mileage has significantly decreased and am now averaging anwhere from 15-16.5. My driving habits have not changed and I am not using the remote start or idling for any length of time. Any idea what could be causing the change? Should I just take it to the dealer?
