I had my exhaust coming out of the body in front of my wheel, I used a double walled tip and 5mm heat resistant vacuum hose to protect the truck. There should be pics in my profile, dont have any on my phone right now.

welcome and nice truck, personally I'm a fan of black with the silver Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I went with a 6.5" Ready Lift and kept 18 wheels (-12 offset) with 35x12.5 BFG KO2's, there was some rubbing when I had the wheels at full lock when turning but a few hit with a hammer cleared that right up.

Post your 2014+ wheel/tire set-up
sailor9908 replied to BlueWrapper's topic in Modifications & Accessories
I have the same engine/gears but with a 6.5" lift, I went with 35" tires on 18" wheels and I couldn't really notice the power loss driving around town. It's on the highway when you'll go to pass someone that the loss will really be noticeable. As for your MPG loss I can't say because I have a 6.5" lift not the 2.5" level, I did however drop down to 17-19 mpg on the highway from 22-24. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD -

I have the 5.3L with 3.42's and after the 6.5" ready lift and 35" tires to me there wasn't much difference in the drive, where I really noticed the difference is on the highway trying to pass when I'm already doing 75/80 there wasn't the same passing power and quickness as before the lift/tires. So instead of regearing my differentials to get some power back I just bought a blower and got my power back that way :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't see a problem with a 12.5" wide tire but if you are going with a 22x14 wheel set up then yes I can see there still being some rubbing. Just do a little trimming and you'll be fine.
