I have seen people clear 35s with the leveling kit alone on stock wheels im hoping the 1.5 body will give it a little more clearance. but i think i can fit them with my stock wheels. and my mileage around town is right at 17 if i stay out of the throttle and my last road trip i got 19.5 with the cruise set on 73MPH. i was pretty happy with that :big_banana_Dance:

Yeah vent visors and bug thing are always a must remove item. I really love those CC style trucks and the white is soo clean.

1.5 zone for sure. OEM 20's and 315/35's would be the game changer.

I recently got 16 highway pulling a 12' trailer w/ 500 lb mower @2,000 rpm/70+mph
Small 35's/4.56 gears so you should still be able to beat that when/if you do 35's.

You'll def clear 35's out back w/ body lift it's always the front that raises any concerns. Do enough crank that doesn't hinder the ride, get 2" lift shocks for the front and slap em' on! Oh, and then take pics of course!

do they make some lift shocks for my truck my brother has some on his titan but i didnt know they made some for a silverado?
i hope ill keep some mileage with the new tires when i get them and the vent visors and bug shield get used a bunch by me so sadly they must stay but i do agree they are not the most appealing things. im thinking maybe some nfabs or rpb steps after the body lift also since ive been looking around on here lately they seem to hide the little bit of frame that peeks out the bottom and i like the way they look.

Josh, first off, I love oxford.

Second. Yep they make allll kinds of lift shocks for your truck. Very affordable too. Just get on ebay and search: 2" lift shocks. That should give you more than enough cushion. You could get the front 2 (all you'd need) for bout $80 easy.

I've got 3.42s too....I hate the mileage. When I get some money I'm going 4.10s. 4.10s and 33's would be awesome
