Helper bags will keep it level and you can air them up for added support when towing/hauling

I've never been an fan of air bags tho. Ive had them in lowered and lifted trucks and they always seem to leak. Have any recommendations on a good company.

I don't personally have any experience with them but the one I've seen recommended the most are the firestone ride rite air bags. I went with the 3" block when I leveled my 2000 Sierra for the same reason and the rake is starting to annoy me when I look at it :lol:

Do you remember the numbers from before the tune? Or did it come before the lift? Also do you have a tonneau cover? Just curious. I know I saw 16 MPGs on my truck @ 80 mph and it's just leveled with stock rims and stock street tires. Put on a tonneau and started getting 22-23 at 75-80.

No cover on it and with just the lift, tires and wheels and cold air intake it never got over 13mpg anywhere.

Really? I have 4" suspension and 1.5" body lift and 35" mud terrain tires and I am getting 17-19 mpg going 80mph. I did program with hypertech max energy programmer. That may have helped.

That's incredible mileage for a truck that's 5.5" higher + 35" MUD tires! Is that hand calculated mileage or DIC?
