I just recently got a tuner and before the faster I went the more the speedo got off. At 70 I was actually traveling close to 75. As far as rubbing I only get it at full lock but for some reason not always. Thanks for the compliments on my truck. Here's a picture to show that's it isn't an asphalt queen lol

Was there a big difference in MPG or sluggishness after running this size?

My red '06 has 295/70R17 Cooper Discoverer STT's on 17" Raptor take-offs, and my Dad's blue '11 has 295/70R18 Trail Grapplers on the stock chrome package 18's but I don't have a picture of his. Both have leveling kits though

Do you have blocks on the back end at all?

I can't really answer that as I put the level and bigger tires on within a week of buying the truck and don't remember what it was like with out. I know according to the odometer I was getting like 12mpg. But I don't know how accurate that was.

I have 18x9 rims with 5 inch backspacing that gives a "zero" offset. I only have a 2" level and had to do some minor cab trimming to provide clearance. Totally worth it because of all the compliments people make.

?????The 2011 with factory chrome wheels, did you have no issues with rubbing front or rear after leveling? I have 2013 XLT (4x4) with factory 18in chrome and the rear shock distance seems close even with factory rubber. I want to put Nitto Trails or Copper STTs (295/70R18) but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Any advice.
