Well i have a 285/65 R20 on stock 20's on a 2.5 inch front level, and a 2 inch rear level with very little rub.  The rub is so minimal in fact that i hardly ever notice it.  You can see the extreamly

The only thing I'm really worried about is the sway bar because it's easy to fit 275/65r20 on a 2.5 inch lift and the big difference between that and 35x12.50 is the tire width.

I have a 2015 1500 crew cab with a 2.5" level kit. Can I fit a 295/70/18??

Yes you can fit it if you do some minor trimming on the wheel liner. Tires will rub the sway bar at full lock but its not bad

FWIW, I just had 35x11.50 20 trail grapplers on stock wheels installed and I only have a slight rub on the sway bar. It does not rub any of my fender liner so far. It did hit my fuel mileage pretty hard though and I have a 6.2.

So this is literally just the 2.5 inch lift and 35s? I've been looking for someone who's done this, thank you! Just one question, do you think there is enough room for the 12.50 mud or trail grappler? And did you notice a big height change? I got the 2.5 Rc on right now but truck seems smaller than yours

Yes you can fit a 12.50 wide tire. You will scrub the sway bar at full lock but its easy to avoid and there was defiantly a big height change with the tires.

Thanks for your opinion man but I may go with the 35/11.50r18 tire because I don't want to scrub that much unless you don't think it will be any different than the 12 wides. I just want the look of my wells being stuffed and the height difference. Thanks

The 35/11.50r18 trail grapps that is

Hey Engineer, you keep saying 2.5" lift kit and not leveling kit. Is this the RC kit with the small lift blocks in the rear?

 

How has it affected your MPG? I love the look but I do a lot of highway driving.

Yes, I say lift kit because i have always thought a leveling kit is something that just raises the front of the truck and not the rear. I am running the rough country 2.5" leveling kit with the rear blocks installed. I do a good bit of highway driving as well and i am averaging around 16 MPG. I also took off the front air damn which some people says effects MPG as well.

The larger, heavier tires affect rolling resistance. The air dam will lower MPG, but it should be under 1 MPG. The larger diameter will affect the overal effective gear ratio, which might put the cruising engine RPM in a spot where the engine is not putting out enough torque without increasing throttle, thus lowering fuel economy.

 

I leveled my '17, and the fuel economy has not changed.

When I had the level kit on my 2014 and 2016 , the MPG stayed about the same, ride quality is what suffered.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
