That looks really good! Making me feel a bit better about my decision. And I also have the exact same level as you. However I milled my 3" block down to 2.5". Thank you for posting those pictures!

 

So I picked up my truck last night after the mechanic had left for the day. So I got a run down from the service manager.

He told me the mechanic was convinced it was a wheel bearing and replaced it. Took it for a road test. Noise was still there (no surprise)

They put it back up on the hoist and put it in drive and engaged the 4wd. All 4 would turn. As they would bring it back to 2wd the front driver side wouldn't disengage and would continue to spin. They removed the IWE and found that it was in fact broken. So they replaced that as well as the actuator assembly.

All in all I'm very happy with the outcome and the dealer exceeded my expectations. (Wasn't hard to do from my previous experience)

I will attempt to post a picture of my truck. Have yet to do so on the forum let alone on my phone. So forgive me if it does not work.

 

Hopefully they worked. They are crappy cell pics. But they are better then nothing<br/>

 

No problem... a few more weeks and I will have the wheels back on... I put my stockers back on for the Winter. I'm not ready to put these through an Ohio winter...

Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

I'll take you up on that lol. Did you find your ride quality the same as with your stock set up? was there much mpg loss? Did you bother to tune/recalibrate?

I started a thread requesting pics of 275/60r20 with level. Hopefully this gathers some pictures for me

Thanks again for the help. Much appreciated

 

Sure.

No change in ride quality, but a lot of that will depend on your tires. The Falkens ride very nicely

I found between 1-2 mpgs loss. But again, there are so many variables that go into that. I noticed a roughly .5-.7 gain when switching back to my stock wheels and tires (for winter).

So...

Pre Level, stock wheels and tires: 17.5ish
Post Level, stock wheels and tires: 16.7ish
Post Level, aftermarket 20's and falken wildpeaks: 16.2ish

And as for the tune and re calibration... nope. Hardly any change.

 

Thank you very much!! This is exactly what I needed/wanted!

 

No problem

 

I think I lost more mpg when I put my falkens on but I also went from a 275/65/18 to 315/70/17 but still like the way they ride get a Lil flat spot in winter time and shakes some but other than that great

 

Holy ! 315/70... that's a HEAVY tire... wow
