Talking 2015 Lariat FX4 Sport Tux - Levelled, Fuels, Duratracs

After many, many days of searching this forum and others online, I finally figured out what I wanted to do in terms of levelling/lifting, wheels, and tires. Hopefully these pictures can help other truck noobs like myself visualize what their beast can look like.

I've received quite a few compliments about how the new wheels and tires look on the truck. I'd have to agree.

Here is my delivered 2015 Lariat FX4 Sport Tuxedo Black.






Added:
- Readylift 2.25" Front levelling kit
- 20x9 +20 Fuel Mavericks
- 305/55r20 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs
- Tinted front side windows
- 3M film
- Weathertech floor mats

Removed:
- Front license plate holder

Can you post what your mpg is averaging now? and which rear you have 3.31? 3.5EB?

It has been about 1.5 weeks since I got the level, wheels, and tires, and I'm averaging 14.5 mpg while driving in the city. I have a road trip coming up in a few days and I'll post what the highway mpg is then.

The engine is a 3.5 EB with a 3.55 rear.

I have been looking into the readylift leveling kit also? Personal opinions about it? Did you do the install or have a shop do it?

Really nicely done! Do you get any rubbing at all with this level/wheel/tire combo? Any trimming necessary? Looking great, only thing I'd do would be to add a little bit of block in the rear for just a small rake, but that's just me. Gotta love those boards with the level for old folks getting in the truck!!

Default DuraTracks

Currently have those on my Jeep Wrangler. Outstanding in snow and sand as well as dry pavement. Noisy but not too bad.

Wore Goodrich AT for decades on all my Jeeps and Goodyear Duratracks are far superior.

The shop that I used recommended it and installed it. I really don't have an opinion on it because I never did the installation.

There is a little bit of rubbing on the mud flaps but nothing major. No trimming needed. Yeah, I wanted to try out the level first but I may look into raising the rear end a little bit like you suggested.
