Body Lift and Level Questions

[blackexpress13]

hey guys im new to the forum but have been reading threads on here since before i got my truck..

i have a 2013 ram 1500 Black express

looking to do a 2.5 level and a 3'' BL.

What are you guys with this setup getting MPG wise, obviously i didnt buy the truck for MPG purposes but i also dont want to get 10 highway lol..

and with the 3'' body lift..can you still use any type of running boards, if i lift my truck ill need to put them on for my daughter.

Are you upgrading tires also?

Tires will be your biggest factor. An most step rails I seen mount to the body it's self so the lift just raises them with the body

yea i will be getting a set of 35s.. not sure if i want to keep the stock 20s or buy a set of aftermarket 18s..by the time i buy tires for 18s plus wheels its only about 200 more for the new setup, then i can sell the stockers

Check out my build if you get a chance..your lift alone will drop your mpgs, throw on tires and your looking at averaging 12-13 mpgs. You most definitely can still do running boards!
