Would the 2” motofab level clear the tire from  the control arm that he was hitting?

Can’t tell if you’re saying you have the 2” level in the front along with the 2” factory lift or not

Full photo of the truck with 325/65/18 on OEM rim, 1/4 spacers & 2” factory lift

You were able to fit them without any rubbing or trimming after the 1/4” spacers were on? After installing them, do you think a less knobby sidewall tire could fit without wheel spacers on the factory rim? And also, are the tires flush with the fenders or do they poke out a little? Pic?

Curious what did this do to your MPGS when you put them on?

If I'm cruising at 60mph DIC says 19mpg, 17mpg average city/highway after a couple weeks of driving. I've never calculated it. I'm happy with the mileage.

Truck came with 2” lift from factory. I didn’t modified suspension at all.

Yes, I was able to fit them after installing the spacers. If the  sidewalls weren’t knobby I could get away without wheel spacers and they tires are flush.

 

Old tires were donuts for sure lol

Your setup is perfect brother. Compliments to the stance and those running boards as well!

I’m liking those running boards.

Interesting.  I'm not sure why someone would spend the coin to install taller tires for improved ground clearance on your 4 wheel drive only to then lose all you've gained and then some by installing handicapped steps that hang 8" below the rockers!?!?!?  Seems like an exercise in futility???

Calm down boss, 90% of the people on here are installing bigger tires for aesthetic purposes, not off-roading. They fill out the wheel wells better. Didn't realize we were upsetting a consummate professional off roader. Guess its a good thing its not your truck.

I don’t understand why steps hang down so low either. I don’t offroad near as much as I used to any more but clearance beneath the steps concerns me. However I also fail to see the point in that comment. 

 

It’s someone else’s vehicle. Let them do with it what they wish.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
