Already posted in here once before but here is one without the shell and the bed drawer and with 285's vice the 265's. The rear end came up quite a bit with just the CBI on it.

 

I was curious if anyone else would notice, since my primary concern had been the welds holding I didn't notice the kiss till I started lowering the truck back down. Fortunately the jack only left some red lipstick on the clear coat, easily wiped off before I got home to the wife

 

I have a nice line to the metal on my driver side door from doing the same thing!

 

My truck used to look exactly like this! Love it.

 

Man I've been waiting a real fricken long time to post in this thread

Welcome to the club! You've got your truck looking damn good! And from the sound of some of your other posts, riding that way too!

 

Thanks man.

Yeah most importantly it rides so nicely.

Can't wait to see how these tires perform this weekend. Doing a 750 mile round trip. Mostly highway.

 

I'm curious to see how much of a MPG difference there is. Are you planning on logging it, or have you in the past?

 

I'm surprised that I haven't posted here yet. OME 881, Dakars and OME Sport struts/shocks.



I could have probably gone higher on the ramp but with open diffs, my tires started to spin.

 

I've been tracking it pretty religiously for the last 150 fill ups.

I've tracked over 43,000 miles and over 2,000 gallons of fuel.

I also make notes on fill ups that denote significant changes to the truck, eg new tires, new grille, lift, topper off, bed rack on, etc.

I should have a good barometer for the next fill up which will be the first with the lift and new tires.

 

I gotta tell ya, you take some beautiful pictures. The look like Picasso next to my iPhone pics.

 

I don't on Fuelly.com... just in my own head.

Although the new tires lowered that inflation a bit. I went by one of those speed radar signs that I always pass at 35-40 mph and it was 1 mph closer to actual speed than my previous worn tires.

For the baseline comparison between tires and lift, etc... me being off 5% with 31" tires doesn't matter.
