i was just wondering how u liked it compared to when it was dropped slightly.Also i guess it doesnt matter but how much more fuel does it burn. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

 

I love it. It still rides very smooth and the nitto tires are very quiet. The truck gets 100 times more attention than it did before, especially with the 18" wheels on a lifted truck. Most guys that lift their trucks get cheap and use 15" or 16" wheels. Its also nice to ride up higher than 99% of the other vehicles on the road, feels safer. Even stock Z71s look like lowriders next to me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Oh yeah, about fuel mileage. I haven't noticed any big difference because 80% of my driving is highway cruising to work and back. With the larger tires, my rpm is less at the same mph. I guess that is kind of a tradeoff for the increased rolling mass.

I still fill up about twice per week, same as before. The truck definitely feels a little slower though, but just from a stop. No biggie, it wasn't intended to be a performance truck.

 

hey, what do you mean cheap 16" wheels!

Another good thing about lifted trucks, is that no matter how dirty and muddy it gets, it still looks cool <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

A lowered truck that is dirty looks like the owner is just lazy. hehe
