[1badtie]

I got the 305/55/20 RGs and they look small

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.

Love the look man. Should come from the factory like that.

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

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.
