    Do any of you guys do any real off roading. All the comments are about looks etc. For me function is much more important than looks. But I guess it's all about how you use your truck. Least amount of lift and correct tread tire for the typical trail you run is the way for me.IMO

    Still debating going 275, they look nice for sure. Havent sold myself on the loss of MPG/Power. I have 285s on my 09 (soon to be traded in for my 16), those hit the MPG in the feels lol.

    Not much of a tire selection at 275/70/17 either.

    Yes I'm running stock suspension, the 5100's are on their way, just adding .85 to the front the ride is exactly like stock... I've had a few people ride in my truck and say the same... Mileage hasn't changed a whole lot

    What's your thought on only having the res on half of the system.

    I'm not too sure how much difference only having the res on the back shocks will make. I know that the oil in the reservoir helps keep the shock cool when the suspension is cycling.

    I thought about just going with the stage 1 and buying the aal separate. It would still be a could hundred less too.

    The remote res are only necessary for high speed off roading or desert running applications imo.

    Just out of curiosity, the people that have 275's, what mileage are you getting? I'm averaging 17. 70/30 mix of town/hwy

    Are 275s worth it ? I am curious as I am thinking about a 3 inch lift with 17s or should I stay at 265s?
