Always heard these trucks cam nose down for gas economy. Have any of you guys experienced a decrease in gas mileage after installing the leveling kit?

I have a CCM 2.5" in the front and a 1" in the rear with Nitto Trail Grapplers (stock wheels) 295/55/r20

Man that looks awesome.. I have an LTZ with AutoRide so i'm trying to mess with JUST the front of the vehicle to level it... I love those tires though but with 22's I need something with a little less tread. Looks great on your ride though if i was going with the 2.5/1 lift I would DEFINITELY get those exact tires!

Yes, my highway mileage decreased by 1 to 2 mpgs. I had the level kit on for some time before the MT tires were added.

Nice! post some pics of before and after!

So it's just 2" raised in the front and stock suspension in the back now? Is there a cali-lean to it or is it leveled right now?

I'm still undecided if I want to do a 2" rear drop or to just level the front end. I have stock oem 22's too :Handshake:

The only thing that was touched was the 2" lift in the front. The suspension in the back was untouched. The front is now around half an inch higher than the back. From what I have read it might affect how i tow a boat so I am considering bringing the back up about 3/4 of an inch.

Yea I was just thinking that 2" in the front would push it over the top to where it was higher then the back end. What kind of tires/size did you go with?
