2014+ Suspension Lifts

denalicrew · July 25, 2014

swapped tires, still pulls....been reading a lot about the Toyo Mt radial pull to the right and that getting a steering stabilizer that is nitrogen charged will completely eliminate this pull.... now the problem is i cant find any made for the 2015 LML

Wow! So the tread pattern must walk to right and cause that pull. I'm very interested to see if you can confirm that the stabilizer will remedy that. Keep us posted.

For those who have a 4" lift and 275/65/20 (or similarly sized tires, such as 295/60/20)

How is the fuel mileage?

I'm mostly interested in city driving (ie 35-40 mph (ps, I specify because where I live most city is 35 but one town over it's 45))

Also how is highway mileage?

And for those with a BDS 4" how is the ride?

I know lifting a truck can hurt the ride quality but I've heard great things about BDS's ride.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I've got a 6" on mine and my last 400 miles are averaging 16.2 mpg. That's high, back roads, and towns. The ride quality is excellent IMO. Sure it's a little stiffer but the look and ground clearance more than makes up for it. No vibration of walk of any kind. 6" is bigger than I've ever had, not sure I'll get another one this big again, but I like it for now.

With the suspension technology of today's lifts, I wouldn't be too concerned with ride quality from any quality suspension lift. If you've heard good things, it's good to go.

16.2?? Nice! I'm guessing you have 35's? I am currently getting 16.4 on my stock '11 4x4.

I baby mine a lot.

I have a 6in lift with 35 tires and get about 13.3 city. I baby mine too. I wish I can get 16. I know the Fabfours bumpers and winch are heavy, so hopefully those are the reasons for the low mileage. Would a tune or a tuner like Bully dog help?

I reset my trip odometer when I bought the truck. Almost 900 miles and 16.2 mpg on that. About 700 miles of that is stock tune, I just put a hyper tech on it but I'm not expecting any mpg gain, just wanted the extra pep.

I can take a pic of my truck and the mpg reading on my truck at noon to prove I'm not lying. Lol.

I must do too much stop and go driving.. I'm lucky to see 14 in town.. Headed to the Ozarks this weekend and will be anxious to see what I get.. McGaughy's set at 8".. 35x12.5x20 toyo open country MT.. stock exhaust, stock everything else..

I go 5 miles at 56 mph, probably 20 miles at 67 mph with a 40 mph curve and one stop sign. Then a mile at 40 mph with 4 stops and turns. I debated on getting a motorcycle or a 4-banger car for gas mileage, but I'm getting 2.5 mpg better than my 2010 SLT, and this truck looks a hell of a lot better than a Prius. I love this truck.

Debating on a K&N CAI and flowmaster exhaust, but I like how quiet my truck is right now. Don't really want to change anything.

I already added the body. I am going to add a 38x13.50x20 or a 37. I will probably keep another year and then get the 2015 Denali HD and add the 10" bulletproof lift with 40s. I looked at one last week but if I don't buy my wife a new car then I cant get any more toys. Bodylift looks ok but the steps look goofey hanging down so I am adding the amp steps that fold out. I like the truck but I wish I had gotten the supercharger option or just waited on the diesel. Mall Crawler Truck looks good Still wish I knew how to post pics on here
