Very clean truck! Just out of curiousity, what kind of mileage are you getting?

 

[01Konvict]

Thanks city is 13 and highway is 14. Think gears would help bring mileage up back to stock if I did 3.73 or 4.10

Very nice! I'd drive it haha

Do you remember what mileage you were getting when it was stock? I'm itching for my first lifted vehicle but considering that I go 50k miles a year I am really concerned with ride quality and mileage. I have a silver 2011 Denali on the new Escalade 22s and while it is awesome, I find myself looking towards the 6.7 Diesel F-250 Crewcabs. If I could lift my Denali and throw on some off road wheels without loosing to much mileage I can see myself holding on to this truck at least another 5 years!

I think I was getting 15 and 17. So about 2 mpg drop. Like I said if I did gears front and rear for the awd I think it would pick back up 1-2 mpg.

If I were you with esky 22s I would keep them and get the FTS 7" then put some toyo R/T 35s on them and wheel spacers. It would actually look really good!

I didn't notice much more than a 1-2mpg drop when I put my 2010 Silverado on 35's (with 3.08 gears). It doesn't drop much, and since you have the 6 speed it helps tremendously.

I should probably mention mine is also a hybrid! I know, it will look odd having a lifted hybrid but it's cheaper than buying a new truck!
