One week report - A week after putting the tires and Eibach coilovers I drove it about 600 miles over the past week with a mix of highway and city with one 200 mile road trip. Across the board I lost about 2-3 MPG, I am now getting around 15MPG In the city and 20 MPG at 70 MPH on the highway.
It rides super smooth, much better around the turns and a lot more stability all around (tough definitely a little stiffer but for the better).
There is no noticeable loss of power due to the larger tires and the truck is just as quick and zippy as it was before the modifications.
The suspension did settle about half an inch which is good because it lifted it a total of 3 inches after installation and now it’s 2.5 inches.
the overall lift including the added height from the tires is almost 3.5 inches.
The front height from the ground to the top of the wheel well is now 40.5 inches and 41.5 inches in the rear.
I have the max tow package so I have the extra leaf spring in the rear so I had 3.5 inches of rake to start out with, which is why I still have 1 inch of rake but you can barely even notice but I like that for when I occasionally tow or have a load in the bed.
