My 2015 2500HD LT Z71 6.0L one of the few days it is actually clean. Hard to keep any vehicle clean living on rural gravel roads like I do. Hard to believe, but white shows less dirt than the other darker colors. Just a good 'ol farm truck.

Do those air tabs make much of a difference?

Wade, did u ever get an "actual " measument on the height of your tires? Im looking for something as close to 35 as possible but some sites say they are 34.4 and other say 35.1 and 35.4

Did you have to lift the truck to get the 35s in?

I don't belive he has a lift, just cranked the torsion bars enough to clear them

They do on my semi truck, but no real proof they do on the pickup. I do get less dust build up on the back end on gravel roads, so they must be streamlining things a little. No proof they did anything for MPG. I had a bunch left over from doing my current semi truck so decided to stick them on the pickup to see if they made a difference. I was especially interested on the air flow over the cab as it relates to the cargo box, so I first used them across the back / top of the cab then put a few on the end of the box on the sides. I seem to get a little better mpg from my pickup compared to what others report, but I don't know if it is just driving style or the air tabs have some effect.

Why all the leveling kits? Is there a purpose for other than looks?

Mostly looks, but it does help with your approach angles

Ok understand. Thank ya. I'll be buying eventually so just researching. Doesn't seem like many working these trucks with all the lifts and such in pics.

Also the ability to put larger wheels and tires on is a big plus, but again, mostly for looks. Leveling is a lot cheaper than doing a full lift and still makes the truck usable as it does not sit as high

Yea agree. I wasn't sure if there was actually issues and why everyone was leveling or was specifically for looks. I'll use mine for work purposes around the farm so was hoping for more work related and so forth. Everyone has nice rides though. Lifting and so forth just isn't for me and my line of use
