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?

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
