Recommended Posts

Posted

Picked up a leftover gas '16 Midnight HD the other day. Looking into lifts and tires because I can never leave well enough alone.

 

So what are you guys with 35's getting roughly for MPG?

I got 35's this week and have drove about 300 miles. My mileage avg is between 9-10 and driving at 70 on the interstate.

Did you have to trim much to fit them on your stock wheels?

I didnt have to trim anything, they fit perfect.

Thanks to all for the input. 10-12 is about what I was figuring. What gears do you all have?

 

Keith, you lifted or leveled? Torsion bar tweek or leveling kit? Any rubbing at all at full lock?

I have 4.10's and a leveling kit. No trimming or rubbing.

I've always had to trim my trucks in the past. Really don't want to this time around. So I'll at least level it, maybe even go with the 3.5 kit from rough country. I just don't want to lose the ride quality with stiff sidewalls and stiffer suspension. Thing rides better than my CTS coupe.

What offset/back spacing do you guys run that have no rubbing?

Perfect! What lift/level did you use?

I have 35s and am seeing 10, down from 12. 4.10 gears 6.0 gas (I think all 2500s have 4.10, the 6.6 might have the option of 3.73) I have a leveling kit and it is not even close. Notice I cut my valance off 2"s, what a difference, I just cut it at the molded bottom, it is proportionate to the front now, I didn't cut the end, I wanted to keep the angle for strenght.

looks much better, I need to do that. How hard was it?

Motion, that looks great. That will be on my to-do list.

 

My fear is that I'll tear it off anyway when I pull into brush to situate a trailer on a hunting trip. (which I often do)
