newbie here starting my upgrades on 2018 offroad

Newbie here just starting upgrading my 2018


I put a three inch lift 18 inch rims -11 offset 285 65 amp M/T tires amazing what a new pair of shoes will do!!!

 

Did you do the CMC?

 

Cmc ? Sorry I'm new to this

 

Cab mount chop or body mount chop. To prevent rubbing when going up in tire size.

 

Ahh gotcha so far just had to remove mud flaps I haven't flexed her good yet but have a feeling I will have to cut some plastic

 

Taking her in for alignment tomorrow def needs that I ran her at 75 thought she would be alot more unstable but wasn't bad to my surprise

 

That looks really good. I've ordered 18x9 wheels but still can't make up my mind on tire size. 285/65 or 275/65.

 

I guess it's all personal preference I will def say you can feel the power loss I'm upgrading to 529 gears soon will take care of that

 

I have 285/75R16 know and know what you mean. After I get my new shoes I'll look into 4.88 or 5.29 gears.

 

Everything iv read up on 4.88 is great but if your going to spend the money 5.29 is the way to go

 

This came today


These come monday

 

So I added the injen evolution cold air intake and the mbrap catback dual side exit exhaust and for me personally the power increase and the mpg went up considerably with my other upgrades I dropped to 285 average miles per fill up now I'm up to 345 I live in upstate NY no highway miles pretty much all up and down hills has anyone else seen decent gains?

 

Curious as well. From what I have researched, upgrading the stock CAI for an aftermarket one had no gains (dyno) due to the stock already being a CAI and efficient for the vehicle.
The reason why I kept mine stock. If I can get MPG back up that would be great. Maybe the computer did a hard reset on the MPG reading? It'll automatically go up to 400mi per tank when reset until you drive it for a while and finds the avg.

 

My mileage gains are from odometer readings not computer average. So before I went with the 285s I was averaging 315 a tank as of now my trip average is saying only about 2 miles more a gallon hopii some others chime in with there experiences
