33s regear?

That may very well be true, I'm just speaking to what I've read around here from people (anecdotal). I doubt I'll own a pair of each to be able to compare myself

 

I wouldn’t be concerned about gas mileage but I drive a lot and a few mpg makes a huge difference when you drive 30k + mi in a year. Not expecting it to get fantastic mileage, I just don’t want to have a truck that is really bogged down by large tires that also gets 13mpg.

As far as suspension goes almost all my friends run icon and I like the ride. Was just thinking about giving king a try, I’ve heard a lot of good things.

Thank you for the replies! 4.88s are seeming like a good option.

 

18-19mpg

Stock suspension, mostly highway driving.

Honestly don’t see a need to regear, yet..

 

OP is talking about regearing for larger tires, not stock.

 

No kidding, I have 285/75/16’s

 

Ive got 33s on my 2012. As long as I keep it below 60 mph the gas consumption is tolerable, any faster than that and I burn through faster than I like. I also have a Honda I drive back and forth to work most days ( 30 miles one-way) so mph mileage in the Taco isn't really a concern for me.

 

Here’s my gas mileage running those 33’s before the gear change averaging 75mph......


Here’s after the gear change averaging 75mph...

 

If you really are going to throw down the $, read this thread.
