I just found your post on page 85. Truck looks great. Can you post more pics of it? Really curious about the gas mileage difference between my stock tires and the 295/70/18. Not gonna stop me from putting them on or anything, just curious.

Sorry i dont have many pictures but when I get a chance I will. I have been super busy with holiday trips and getting ready for a deployment so....anyways my tires fit fine and I think the only reason why they rub are because of the mud lugs sticking out a bit. I saw a drop in gas mileage because of the wieght and size of the tire but I am also using only e85 and premium fuel for the performance and the way my truck runs better on it. I was seeing 19 on average and I am an agressive driver. my best was 24. now i get about 15 on average if not better on the highway. and 20-21 best. I do my own calculations and it comes out to right around 15.5. if its e85 forget about it its like 10 mpgs if im not driving hard. worth it though. when these ware out I will moste likely go with toyos new dual pupose tire. best of both worlds and lighter than mud tires. They just dont have this size yet. I wont be going any smaller ever again now that I know this is a perfect max tire size for my truck and what i like to do.

 

Couple more picks below.....

I'm looking to get a 4 inch suspension lift for my 2014 silverado. Can I see some pics so I can get an idea what it will look like.

 

Also I'll be getting 20x10 fuel Mavericks with 33 inch trail grapplers

You can fit 20x9 fuel mavs with 33" nittos on a leveling kit. I just saved you $1500.

 

There's pics of trucks with 4" lifts in the suspension lift thread.

How much of a difference between a 4" and a level? Cause my last truck was a level and I want something a little higher

Lots of great looking trucks in here! Question tho, do yall prefer the sliding rear window or solid glass? My 03' had the sliding window, manual back then of course, but I'm looking at two 14' GMC Sierra All Terrain SLTs, one has solid glass other has sliding window.

If you think you want it, get it now. Only a couple hundred now, cannot be added later. Not unless you are willing to spend thousands. This was one of the options I wanted, along with the trailer brake controller, which cannot be added later either. I'm talking about OEM.

I just can't decide now between the GMC SLT or All Terrain, chrome front vs. painted front.. For some reason the painted front seems to make front of truck look smaller vs. the chrome grill.

Mine came with it and I wouldn't buy one without it now, if that tells you anything. So much more airflow in the summer or even those days it's not quite warm enough to open the windows.

I love it !b4296c4fecbeb1f886be0defcffc2420.jpg

I really like your truck man. I really wish I would of spent the extra cash for a 4x4 now. Lift, wheels, and tires look great and compliment the body lines real well.

I just put on the "winter wheels". 22" chromies go back on in April.

Is there a reason for changing rims for the winter time?

Missouri winters... lots of road salt. VERY corrosive to chrome plated wheels. They will start to "pit" after 2-3 winters no matter how clean you try to keep them. The winter wheels are clear-coated polished aluminum. It's just like the clear-coat they paint on cars/trucks so no damage to wheels.

 

If you've ever had chrome-plated wheels for many years you'll know what I mean (unless there are no salted roads where you live!).

 

Looks like this.

Just do it to your 2wd truck. They look the same and are same height stock. Not to mention it will save you money in on many costs vs a 4x4.
