Default installed duratracs

truck has a 2in AS level. I went with 275/70/18. I felt that this size was my best option as i did not want fuel milage to suffer too much as well as the overall responsiveness of the truck. After 1 week i am very happy with these tires. i often catch myself looking out the front window of the house taking another peek at the truck. really makes the truck look like a truck in my opinion.

I will let you know when I fill up for the first time. I am thinking there will be a small drop in mpgs.

I did a 2 inch level with 3 inch rear blocks. Hasnt affected towing sag any. I think Ive lost about 1-1.5 mpg's since I put on the duratracs and leveled.

The 3 inch block helped you there since you essentially added to the rake
