Pics of trucks w/ front diffuser/splitter removed?

crushNchowda · November 2, 2015

Can anyone post some pics of their truck w/ the front air dam/diffuser thing removed? I was thinking of doing this once I get the bilstein 5100s on, think it will "accentuate" the slight lift.

I know this has been discussed before, but expecting about a 1/2 mpg drop overall, sound about right?

I think you will only see a dip in mileage if you do a lot of highway driving. Otherwise, it is probably negligable.

And here is a thread that shows some pics and other members accounts.

I just ran through my first tank of gas with the air dam off mine doing mainly 55 mph 4 lane roads with no difference in gas mileage. If you do a lot of 70mph + driving then you will probably see a 1 mpg drop. Leveling it will also decrease mpg another .5 to 1 mpg on the interstate.

Well I haven't had any problems with them. They're actually getting taken off right now so I can put some 35s on in a month or so

To me, wheel spacers seem dangerous. They make wheel bearings wear out faster, and are prone to failure in general. To each his own.
