Default How would it look...

... if I put a 2.5" leveling kit on my stock '06 4x4 with the stock size tires- 235/75/17's?

Also how would it affect the gas mileage?

Id like to level it out but buying new tires is out of the question and I cant afford to decrease the gas mileage.

Getting my money pit 5.0 back in running condition (new motor, etc) ate up all my play cash, thats the reason for needing to save up the $.

New wheels were the first thing (and so far only thing) Ive done on the truck since Ive owned it. I hated the chrome steel wheels so I bought stock aluminum wheels right away.

The day I bought it:


The wheels I bought two weeks later:
