  1. Yes, it should but you may ask your tire store if you can switch them out if they don’t clear. It’ll definitely improve going from a 22” to a 20” but you may want to consider 18”’s. 0 offset will stick out a tiny bit more. Remember, E rated tires will ride much rougher than P rated cause they’ve got much thicker side walls and just over all much heavier. I’ve got my KO2’s aired down to 35 psi which helps a bit on comfort but some people find mpg loss airing down. I’ve got Bilstein 5100’s front and rear which helps too. Just for you to know: Fox Shocks will definitely give you a much stiffer/harsher ride then the Bilsteins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Great idea on the heat gun [emoji1303]. I’ve got Fuel +18 20’s wrapped with 275/60/20 BFG KO2’s. IMHO, sorta wished I did 18’s now cause instead of 20’s reasons being more sidewalls for protection against wheel curb contact and once you go 275/60/20 it’s going to have stiffer sidewalls making rougher ride. I absolutely love my KO2’s, excellent wet/dry/trail traction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I got rubbing on my UCA’s with the stock 20” wheels. I accidentally ordered 22’s on mine and had them switch out to the chrome clad 20” like yours a bit different design though. Everyone I know said that after the lift and due to the new stamped UCA’s they too have had rubbing especially full lock backing up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Thank you, it definitely puts a lot of smiles for the miles on my face. I’ve got the 5.3 in my wife’s 16 Yukon Xl and with it’s 36 gallon fuel tank, it’s our road trip vehicle which gets us depending on head wind, 23-25 on the highway. I almost bought the Denali but a neighbor of mine complained on the mpg’s he was getting on his road trips. In addition, our 6.2’s require super which gets really high out of Texas as well as loss of octane in higher elevations so I’m glad I got the 5.3, wife LOVES it. On both vehicles the key to reliability and optimum performance is maintenance. I switch out the rear fluids and engine air filter every 10K with Amsoil on my wife’s as well as every 4K with Mobile 1 and Mobile 1 oil filter as well as Lucas fuel additive every other fuel tank just to keep things clean.
  5. Same level here but I couldn’t stand the rub at full lock so I switched out the chrome clad wheels with Fuel plus 18 offset and very happy I did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Here’s the total on the same trip reaching my destination. How do you like them now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. To show you what my mpg’s are on the highway cruising at 70 mph with heavier than stock Fuel wheels rapped with 285/60/20 KO2’s here’s a 50 mile computer average Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Yes, 1 - 2 mpg loss. My truck is 18 CrewCab 4x4, standard bed with the 6.2 and not tuned. With the KO2’s I noticed slight performance loss in acceleration and in stopping but slight. From a total stop my truck easily spins them but the positive security I get from having KO2’s on my truck completely outweighs the negative. I’ve owned them all and the difference in quality is obvious, BFG KO2’s are the best period. My road trips at 70 mph within 35 miles gave me 23 plus mpg, at 75-80 I’ll get 21-22 mpg’s. I consider this great, it’s a truck. I had the 2014 5.3 and it was horrible on performance and the mpg getting 18-19 on same distances with Michelin defenders on it too.

  9. Put this setup on my DMAX Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. My brothers Fox 2.0 shocks don’t have boots just bare chrome piston shaft aiming downward (just like the Bilsteins) which is weird considering it’s an off-road shock with nothing to protect it from debris. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. After speaking with GM of 4wheelparts, the geometry of the shock requires install to be right side up for the Bilstein label. I had install as per instructions from Bilstein and drive great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  13. Oh NO NO NO! 6.2’s are NOT Flex Fuel compatible Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I know, ha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Yes, i did hear that it can vary ok but it only safe to use in flex fuel motors. Wish I could use it on my new 6.2 ha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  17. I called a Valero in Conroe, asked what the octane was on the E85, lady said 85. Is that true? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. So what happens when there’s NO E85 anywhere when on road trip? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. What ever you do, DO NOT BUY FROM SUMMIT RACING! My customer experience was horrendous! My first order was great, second order was delayed even when told should be there in a couple days especially when coming from same state, 3 hour drive from where I live and processed 11 hours after transaction making it a 4 day delivery! Customer service was extremely rude, BUY LOCAL! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Absolutely correct, I change mine using only Mobile One oil and filter every 4-5K. My first oil change was 1K, second was 2500, third (just yesterday) was at 7K. My rear ended was changed out at 5K with Amsoil. I have a couple buddies that buzz around me when I’m selling trying to get me to sell them my trucks cause I maintain them very well. You’ll have a very dependable vehicle if you maintain them before manufacturers recommendation especially making sure you use a top notch oil filter like Mobile One.

  22. You’re absolutely correct! Not being argumentative but, I’m still waiting to hear as to what direction he feels this thread is heading to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  24. Best thing you did, Ford is not a bad truck it’s just a disposable truck. I’ve owned multiple Fords and aside of my Saleen they were all crappy built. Last ford I had was a 2008 and there was just nothing I was happy with except for the King Ranch mahogany color and the leather seats. Every ford owner I know feels their trucks are substandard, they just go back to watching the Ford commercial making them feel better. My brother in law ordered a pretty platinum 4X4, jacked it up very tastefully and says he wishes he had bought a GMC. One thing you’ll always notice immediately from a ford owner, they’ll always quote a Ford commercial and just have nothing else personally to say, GMC owners love their trucks and if you ask a GMC owner what he or she likes about their truck they’ll talk about everything. A flashback just happened, years ago, I bought a full size Eddie Bauer bronco, went in a field and got stuck, shock absorber brackets broke from the welds, 4x4 would sometimes engage and mostly not turn off, it was fun taking off the top. My GMC Jimmy Diesel was a tank, indestructible and just kept going and going like the Energizer Bunny. Stick with GMC, Professional Build Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. So, what you’re saying is they’ve spent all their money on their million dollar homes and couldn’t afford to buy a real truck, the professional grade GMC. [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
