If you do let me know what happens to you gas mileage. I took mine off the day I got my new wheels and tires and saw a dramatic decrease in gas mileage. Not sure if it's due to the new wheels and larger tires or just the removal of the valence or both. In my case I have put it back on to see if there is any improvement

I'd say I'm around 15-16mpg with my 275/65/20 on. What were you with it off

 

Could also be the larger rolling diameter actually has you going a few more miles than what your odometer says, but the truck can just tell you're burning more fuel ?

I went with 295/55R20s so the diameter is basically the same but perhaps it is off a bit. My 400 mile average was 15.2 mpg, now that the valance is on I actually haven't driven my truck since. But once I put some miles on I will let you know if I see any changes.

Valance makes no difference it's all in tires.... Lifts don't even affect it much Iv found its just larger heavy tires and winter gas and weather will crush the mpg

Do you mean 295/70/18? What's your lift/level setup? Looks really good, btw.

 

Yea. It came down to the discoverer 295/75 and the TG 295/70. I read those numbers so much now I don't know what I've got. But I went with the Rough Country 2.5 level, zone 1.5 body and 295/70 TGs. I know some guys not using the 2" replacement blocks with the levels but I did. I like the factory look just a little lifter. Thanks though.

Jbutts what lift/level do you have?

Try uploading the pictures with your Wifi disabled. From time to time I run into the same issue and this seems to fix it.

Do you have a lift on the truck other than it being leveled?

On +31 stockers? Are you having any rubbing issues in full lock position? What's your liner clearances?

 

Come 'on, man, we gotta know!

You'll be totally fine with this setup. I have a 2" kit and barely rub with 305-55-20's on 0 offset.

Hello, where are you rubbing? Just plastic? I currently have the 2.25" Readylift leveling kit. Looking to get some 305/55/20 on 9" wheels + 1 offset. After that I am hoping to move into a 4" lift whether it's with an additional 1.5" body lift or full suspension. But I figure I might just like the way it sits with the new tires alone, so I would like to know how bad it rubs. Thanks.

So I threw up my stats on the Lifted Thread already, figured I'd put them here too in case anyone missed it and wants to know. 2015 LT 5.3, 7.5 in. Rough Country lift, Rough Country skid plates, Moto Metal MO962 20x12, Federal Couragia MT 35x12.50 R20.

Those definitely do not look like 20x9. At least 20x10

Can anyone running duratracs give me some feedback? I'm looking at possibly getting a set of 275/60r20, but wanted more opinions before I decided. I've heard a lot of good things from people I know, only really one bad review.
