I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

I can't speak to your cover but I can tell you Magnum says this rack works with most between the rail covers and they seem to make it work with some on rail covers tho I don't know how.

Check out the link. Like I said "I think" there may be a way you can do it.

staying tuned for this answer, looking at getting a 3in level (the kind that mounts to the top of the shock) and bilstein 5100's. Hoping 1.Its doable and 2 if i can do the level and a setting or two up on the bilsteins to get 3.5/4ish of lift in the front. Then add a 2in rear Block. Im new to this whole thing and don't wanna do something stupid.

Just my opinion but that amount is too high for a level...I would go with a full suspension lift...control arms / shocks / sway bar etc...

what is you goal? Larger tires? What size?

It says it is a 50$ add on to get it to work with this type cover.

60,000 miles relatively quiet miles is not bad for those tires.

Yes sir 5100's at lowest setting with level.  Rides fine IMO.

I just added 33s and just want it to look a bit taller than it is now. Still feel like it looks like I rolled off the show room floor

The method you posted earlier would probably be to much and will cause pre mature wear on your truck. If you want more lift go with a 4" lift.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
