Lift/Level fuel economy? Pics?

Does that include new wheels too? If not, way too much.

i agree way too much. had leveling keys put on last summer and including the keys and an alignment it only cost me $500. a set of nitto tires shouldnt cost more that $1200-$1300 and that is for a set of 285/70R17s

i know with a 1500 4x4 with a level and the 4.7L, im gettin 11 city and 16 highway. thats just driving it normal and not gettin on it. if you were to lift it and put anything over 33's i would suggest changing out the rear gearing. especially for a 6 inch with 35's. something like 3.90 or 4.10 gears. also keep in mind that your speedometer is gonna be off. with a level and 285's(basically 33's) my speedometer reads off 2 mph at 65mph

With mine (3" lifted on 265s) I averaged 18 on the highway and 15-16 in the city.

what is the gear setup are you running? im running 285s with the stock 3.55 gears.

BEFORE stock, with 265/70R17

AFTER, with daystar leveling keys and 285/70R17s instead of the stock tires along with some minor work

when i had my 2006 ram i had it leveled 2.5". the shop only charged me $50 to do it. then i went and got my rockstars and toyo MT's. rockstars were 20's and the toys were 33's. prefect combo i believe.

the tires difference is probably why i have a couple miles less

waitin to change out the gears til i get it lifted. im either goin with a 4 inch or a 6 inch. havent really decided as of yet, either way im gonna run 35s.

one key thing to remember if you decide to level, replace the shocks with ones for lift kits. stock shocks will top out in the front. i learned this the hard way. and ended up replacing all 4 with a set of ranchos.

Mopar is right...I had spring spacers before going to a suspension lift...wasn't exactly level and rode hard as hell in the front...
