Did they rub before you trimmed the front fascia /active air dam removal?

Love the stance - aggressive without being obnoxious. Solid

Thanks I agree! So I removed and trimmed the air dam and fascia prior to the tire install, so I cant say for certain if there'd be a rub there. But I don't personally think it would be a problem.

Looking good, can we get some close ups of how you trimmed the front end?

I can do that. As long as you guys don't laugh lol
It actually came out pretty good for no planning or preparation... Just looking at it, and going "that's gonna come off right now."

Removed the Active Air, but left the fascia. Just trimmed most of it off.

Was gonna unbolt it entirely but looked like too much work, and might leave the front of the truck looking funny. Also had just got done sharpening and rebluing this old M7 Bayonet... thought what the hell, why not lol

I don't have an accurate before number, but I'm averaging around 17mpg combined (calculated) after a 2" level, LT295/60R20 (34") E rated tires, and 28lb 20" +12 offset wheels. Wheel and tire weight is ~100lbs per corner (~15lbs more than stock). Mine is also a 5.0, but I have kept both the fixed and active front air dams to this point.

Im driving up about 5000 feet in elevation daily so I'd be a horrible contestant for a comparison for you... but I've noticed during long trips on flat ground I've seen 16 to 19 avg.
My daily mountain commuting gets me about 14.1 though.
