Lifted on 265's. Show Me!

Thank you kind sir. I am totally diggin your rad black dclb

 

Did you say black dclb! And before someone says something.....I know wrong tire size but I have been debating 265's next purchase.

 

6 inch lift possibly?

 

A late reply, but i get 290 to 320 on 265 75 16.

 

Yeah, I'm getting like 220 on 285s now

 

Think spark plugs would increase

 

Well my daily commute is 6 miles each way, with about 20 stop lights. I hardly do ANY highway driving.

 

Quite your bitching then lol my commute is 33 each way

 

Already got almost 40k miles on the taco

 

I hit 35k on the odometer today. After my lift and bigger tires, my mileage took a big hit. I monitor my tire pressure, try not to keep the cab & bed full of junk, and feather the throttle and I was getting maybe 315 miles out of a tank. I switched to ethanol free gas and my mileage has jumped back up to 380-415 miles, plus no more pings and rough idle.

 

I get about 290 per tank with 285's

 

My driving is all city, hence the poor mileage.

 

BFG KO2 265/70/17 on a 2" lift.

 

What kind of MPGs are you guys seeing with a 2.5" lift on a 2nd gen 4.0 and the stock 265/70r16s?

 

A minimal loss, if any. The main reason guys lose MPGs is from the larger, heavier tires they can fit with a lift.

 

Thanks for the info sir

 

I'm averaging 17.5-18 50/50 highway and traffic on 265/75/16 Falken Wildpeaks with lift so I'd imagine you wouldn't even notice a difference on the stock tire setup

 

Are you guys with 265 75 16's experiencing any rubbing? I'm going to be just leveling the front of mine and was looking to go up to 265 75's but after searching it's a mixed bag, some say it rubs some don't. I'm guessing they rub on the mud flaps? I don't want to ditch my flaps so I guess 75's might not be in my future.

 

I ditched flaps the day I bought my truck because I thought they looked dumb but on my 265/75/16s I didn't have any rub except for the little flap on the front of the wheel wheel opposite the mudflap
