For those with the 275/65/20 that the OP asked about, I had a couple of questions. How has it affected your gas mileage with the added weight of the tires (please add what gears you have)? How far does it throw off your speedo and did you have your speedo corrected?

Thank you!

Here's my neighbors with 2.0" Readylift level and 3" rear block swap. 305/55-20 Duratracs, no issues.

Thank you!
I have a 2.7L EB with 3.31 gears. RWD. My mileage (in the one test I can almost guarantee is the same every time) I was getting 25MPG with 275/55/20 (not original stock- they were 265/60/18). I put the 275/65/20s on and dropped to 21MPG. The speedo is off 10% based on the revolutions per mile between the two tires, thus throwing my MPGs off by 10%. So maybe 2-2.5MPG drop with the tires on the smallest engine with almost the tallest available gears.

No difference taking off or cruising or climbing hills. Not sluggish at all.

I took the front air dam/spoiler off for the first test. I put it back on this afternoon and I'm running the same trip tomorrow to see if it makes any difference. FYI my truck is tuned right now to 87eco through 5*. Maybe one day if it's worth it or if people really want the information I'll tune it back to stock and run the test again.

Any shots from the front or back? I'm thinking of the bfg ko2 in 305/55/20 and curious on the width and how they sit compared to the fenders. Still tucked?

Ask him what bug shield that is please. I've seen a few online but can't tell how they'd sit on the truck. I like how that one looks. AVS? EGR? If it's AVS which one is that- I think they have 3 choices.

It's the Ford Accesories deflector, the stick on model. It was $80 here in Canada with free installation from the dealer.

I'll get you some pics tonight when he gets home, they sit pretty flush with the fender now.

Thanks. I just ordered it from autoanything.com. It's the AVS Aeroskin.
