Finally took some decent photos of the truck after the new lift and boots! 

 

ReadyLIFT 3.5/3" SST Lift (comes with Bilstein shocks) -- huge ride quality improvement over stock

Banks Derringer (badass little multi-gauge)

35x12.50x22 Nitto Ridge Grappler tires

Fuel Blitz 22x10 -18 wheels

 

*Note that the truck isn't on even ground, so the gaps aren't how they normally look. It's got a slight rake forward, but a much more level look overall.

Two more since we're limited on file size.

 

Head to head with a brand new F-250 Lariat FX4 for comparison. My truck looks like it's in a different league now.

Did you notice any difference in diesel mileage with the Banks Deringer? Mine guzzles diesel after the lift and bigger tires. Can you correct tire size with the Deringer?

How do you like the Amp steps?  I ordered a 21 Chevrolet with the automatic assist steps and I believe they're made by Amp.  Any issues with them or do you regret getting them?

I love them except the led light comes loose and hangs. But it could be the shop not using a strong adhesive. I’m sure the one that comes factory won’t have that problem.

can’t say either way. i don’t drive slow enough to have “good” gas mileage on the highway, and haven’t had the derringer on a road trip yet to see any sort of improvement, but i wouldn’t count on it. i def accelerate faster now because of it, which hurts mileage for sure!

 

i just took a 400+ mile road trip and i averaged about 17mpg on the highway at 80mph

 

id have to make the same drive to see if there’s improvement since i have a baseline without it now!

 

i leave it on level 2 (one above stock).

Was this emblem vinyl wrapped or did you do something else?

What offset do you have? Is there rubbing or did you have to trim?

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
