I'm for sure considering it... 5.5" backspacing on these.. But new wheels might be something I'd consider.. If I'm lifting I'd go with a wider stance anyways... This was a really good find!!

Truck looks sweet!! I'll be doing the lift and tires to mine in the next few weeks. What did the lift and tire combo do for your mpg's?

Well if you're willing to do a wheel upgrade then I definitely say lift man, not until you're ready obviously but you will not regret it. I don't know if you would stay with Fuel but when I was deciding on a set of 12 wides I really, REALLY wanted to get the Fuel Full Blown deep. Not trying to sway you, but they're nasty in person trust me.

Thank you!

Hmm, I think I was around 15-15.5 in town and now I'm 13.8-14. Didn't hurt it too bad in my opinion. The trail grapplers are pretty heavy though, you could probably benefit slightly from a lighter tire. I ultimately don't really care, it's a lifted truck after all lol. I have a car for work and travel to help make up for it .

You just can't beat the look of the trail grapplers though. Fuel mileage isn't a big deal to me either since I work offshore and my company drives me back and forth. I was just curious. I'm currently averaging 16.5 with a mixture of city and highway. Thanks for the info and good job again on the truck.

I loved the look of the Trail Grapplers when I had them but they beat the crap out of my truck on these rough WV roads.

You aren't making up for anything by the time you pay another license and insurance fee, not to mention another payment if it's new or repair bill if it's old, cheaper in the long run just driving the truck, haha!
