Yes I am but I'm sitting right on 24.25 inches so no breakage. I am about to move into a house with my gf and the daily drive will be atleast 30 miles longer so lighter tires will help I think... I hope lol

Probably so. What engine/gears do you have and what are you getting mileage wise with the 315's? When school starts back up I have a 44 mile round trip to campus and back I feel your pain haha. I didn't realize how good I had it in high school driving less than a mile (no judgement walking is overrated) and now I feel like I'm killing my truck and wallet going to college. Should have got ats but I couldn't beat the price for these.

I'm driving 40-ish miles each way to/from work. Looking for an apartment before school starts

I have a strong 5.4 but I have the 3.55 gears. I take it easy as much as possible keeping it below 2k rpms so mileage wise im around 14 on a good day. I need to do efans to help out too. Even if they only sage me one mile per gallon thats at least 20 extra miles per tank so ill take that all day.

Dang that's not too bad at all. I got around 16ish with the 265's and 3.73's.......is there something I'm missing??? And every little drop of gas saved counts. I filled it up today and I was about to put the nozzle is and it burped gas on the side of my truck, I just about cried haha

I wish you the best of luck!
I need to start looking for one myself, my major that just retired is moving to east TN and wanted a bunch of cadets to rent out his house for dirt cheap. I doubt that will happen though haha.

I doubt you are missing much. Every one of these trucks is different. Maybe brand new they had a lot in common but all the miles in between can take a toll. My truck was owned by an old farmer that never had the thing over 50 mph so when I got it when I was 20 and had 4 hours one way interstate trip to school it had a learning curve lol. I used to drive it like I stole it but now I just drive. Its capable enough with the tires and new LS that I dont have to dog it even in sloppy mud. You just reminded me I need a new gas cap lol

Very very true. I just wish there some magic I could work on the darn thing to go a little further on a tank but it's a truck not designed for efficiency. And yeah I kinda don't drive like I should. After I put my body lift on I took it super easy on the skinny pedal for the entire tank and actually got my best tank ever before the fuel light came on. That's probably the only way to truly get better numbers. Programmer might help some too.

Hey man could you tell me which light goes where they will be in tomorrow and I hope to get them all in. And I'm still waiting for the bidding to end on the other ones you showed me to end so I can get them.
