Have been driving on the same brand gas from the same station since feb
Yea im finding it very hard to believe. I never got that kind of mileage stock much less with a lift and big tires. My Dad has the same truck with chip and intake with stock wheels and tires and drives nice and calm and gets no where near what they are saying. so IDK what to believe

Well my buddy's 02 F250 with the 7.3, 05 axles and 8" coil spring lift on 38/15.50/18's with just a programmer he pulls 24-26 on the highway and 18-20 in town. Every vehicles different. And yes I know I'm talking about a diesel vs gas but bigger lift and tires and getting excellent mpg

I know a lot off guys on this thread dont like lowered trucks but here we go anyway! I swapped out the 6" flip kit this weekend for a 2/4 drop ( I like it much better!) Took my 20" wheels off and traded them out for some 5 spoke 17" wheels and then blacked them out. Also to on a very tedious project and color matched my HALO headlights to match the truck! Hope you guys like it, I know i do!

How did you get your headlights to seperate so that you could paint them? Oven?

Yes. Set the oven for 215 degrees and let them set in there for 10 min. Then with a small flat head, start to pry them apart. Once you have worked your way all the way around the housing you should be able to pry them apart by hand.

Nice. Did it not affect any of the led bulbs or the wiring for them?
