Nice
I'm sure your mpgs went down some but is it noticeable?

I have a 3.5” Superlift. 3 MPG drop because of the tires. I ran the stock ones with the lift for about a year with no change in MPG.

TOYO AT/2 305/55/R20
Maverick Ultra Wheels +18 offset (Didn’t come in 0 offset unfortunately, which is what I would have liked). Rubs only the sway bars on full lock. 0e153a0a7b8ccb4e8b0b7f0dd5dca41f.jpg6f78326d1136f71090467f0ad7d73fe4.jpgf52951306bc9725f6dec1d82c36adaf0.jpg

I put BFG’s KO2’s on my 16 Duramax and noticed 5 plus mpg drop.

Put BFG’s KO2’s on my new 18 Sierra 1500 Z71 CrewCab with 6.2, 2” front level, 1” rear level and returned immediately after I got on the highway and saw 4 mpg drop so I went with Michelin Defenders one size taller from stock and now get approx 21-23 Highway mpg’s. AT tires weigh much more requiring more power to accelerate and to stop. a4eb18c1db9c5665777db194ae46535e.jpg

Only one problem I forgot to note, even though I’ve got the 2 1/4” front level and 1” rear I’m still getting rub on upper control arm when I turn full turn with only one size bigger. I’m looking into switching from 275/60/20 to a 285/55/20 and see if that’ll take care of the rubbing on full lock and if not I may be getting some new rims which I’m not looking into doing at all cause first off I love my 20” chrome GMC wheels and second I’ve got zero idea of styles other than stock factory wheels. I know definitely chrome but what style, Lol OCD on wheels

2017 elevation, 2 inch drop shackles/block removed, ordering Bell Tech drop struts for the front, I would like the front  down  1.25 inch ....rear has settled a bit since this photo.

BFG KO2's, OEM size, never noticed MPG loss....partially because I do not pay attention to it...

I think next move will be an Iron Cross low profile bumper, powder coated white.

It’s about time I see a summit White truck with chrome bumpers and not everything whiteout. I’ve been looking into new rims, worried about getting chrome cause eventually they start to peel. It’s hard to see what my exact truck as yours would look like with black wheels, thank you for posting. What’s your wheel and tire setup and do you have any rubbing?

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
