    My 2011 regular cab already had Bilstein 5100s with 265/75r16s when I got it.

    I’m getting crap MPG and considering going back down to OEM 245/75r16s but keeping the lift, of course.

    Does anyone have pics of 245/75r16s with a mild lift?

    Tire is not the issue. What do you consider crap mpg?

    It will look like crap.

    If mpg is a concern its not just the tires that hurt but raising the truck increases drag. Both lifts and larger tires hurt mpg.

    You may gain back a mpg or two by going to stock tires, but is that worth it?

    What is your definition of crap mileage? I am running LT285/75r16 @ 60lbs a tire and I am happy with 12-14mpg. I get about 250 per tank. I have driven alot of V6 vehicles and BMWs so the mileage doesn't really bug me.
