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?

    • Maybe.   Maybe.   I don't want to be the one that needs help and can't get it when I need it. That is a legitimate complaint, and how they respond to those legitimate complaints is a big red flag to me.   I don't care how good the product is their conduct is subpar. Some people are fine supporting that for the sake of getting the product they want. I'm not.   To be fair, I haven't seen or touched their product in person to determine for myself the quality of it. I'm not offering any opinion on that either.
    • So if you do nothing and they act on their threats like death to America or Israel. And possibly a nuclear war. Whoever survives wonders why didn’t they listen? Or we do something like every President has said they can’t get a nuclear weapon. We’re at the 10 yard line and it happens the time is now or never. I think I’m ok with paying a little more for gas for awhile. It’s a shame that we now live in a world that’s so polarized. 
    • 4-5-6 fails due to design.  Not enough clutches and not enough piston to clutch surface area.  Also the backing plate can bow.     I'd say converter is two part.  The design of converter chosen, and factory tuning of it aka slipping it in D (also L6) for AFM purposes, as well as locking it up in 2nd gear, sometimes 1st, also it will partially lock up at light loads.  All because CAFE/fuel economy requirements.  A billet converter on the stock tune might hold up better, but would still be subject to the stock tuning and how its designed to lock or partially lock.     The most baffling part to me, is the 2007-2013 6L80s didn't have the failure rate the 2014-2018 ones do.  I've been where I work for almost 17 years now, and I recall maybe 3 or 4 of the 07-13 transmissions getting pulled for something.  14-18 on the other hand, it was at a minimum one a month being opened up.    If I had to guess, I'd say the tuning for the gen 5 engines/6L80 setup and its fuel economy goals had a good bit to do with it.  Also, it was bankruptcy time during these years, so I'm thinking some cost cutting was done for the launch of the K2XX trucks.  See also now the 10 speed valve body issues (more cost cutting).  They blow out some mesh screen in the spacer plate, undersized check ball, and the feed limit valve was aluminum and wears out prematurely.         I don't think it was the HP jump from the gen 4 to gen 5?  The 6.2 in the 07-13 trucks was good for 380-400hp during its life/states of tune, and the 5.3 did 310-320hp.   
    • All this might be worth it had we actually recovered enriched uranium, a WMD, or an actual nuclear deal with oversight. This is a flub of epic proportion, and they all know it.   $5.10 at a station reporting $4.99 last week. Here we go....
