I love the way your truck looks. I have one exactly like it. I'm thinking of getting the exact same tire what kind of gas mileage are you getting?

THanks,
Scott

Thanks. I just got the tires Saturday and I am averaging 16.1 right now. That is all city driving. I expect to get between 15 - 16mpg in the city.

I need to take it in to get the ECU reflashed for the larger tires. That may help.

I'm surprised that nobody has used the Rancho Quick Lift Loaded. I bought some that I plan on installing this weekend with the 9000 series adjustable shocks. I'm hoping it sits level because I don't intend to raise the back. I'm buying some used factory Lariat wheels with 275/60/20 Michelins. Then I'll be selling some King Ranch 20's. I have a 2010 screw FX2. I'll post some pics this weekend.

Here's the finished product. Rides much better than stock. Front is about 1/4" higher than the back so I may add a 1" block or some air bags later for when I'm loaded or towing.

When measuring the variance between the front and rear on my 2010 2wd I find exactly 1-1/2" difference. Looking at some of these pictures, it does look like the front is a bit higher in the front than the rear. The 2wd leveling kit from Daystar is 2-1/2" and the only front 1-1/2" leveling kit I have found so far is by Ready Lift.

Have any of you taken a measurement after the leveling kit was installed on the front of your 2wd truck leaving the rear with the stock height to check the difference between front and rear?

Here is another pic. The first pic I had tools, jacks, jack stands and my old tires in the bed donut was squatting some.. I pulled a tape and its about 1" and a little bit. I'll call it 1 1/4" higher in the rear... Hope this helps. I think it came out great. I rather a little rack in the back rather than tyre level.

Instead of using a spacer (currently have a 2.5") up front for a lift, is it possible to use a coilover from a 4wd which is an inch or so longer? Asking because I can get a smokin deal on a King setup! It's adjustable to give the 4wd a lift so I'm thinking I can set it at 2.5-3" max!? Will it even bolt up? Also will be running a Camburg upper arm!
