LOL I understand. To a point its a cosmetic thing, but I also ride dirtbikes on trails and go camping, so I need a little more room and better tires to get to some spots. This truck isn't just a hwy queen. Im leveled in front for height to match the rear, so rear is just as tall as stock, besides 1" higher from the tires.
Performance no it hurts a tad, but I have a lot invested in my truck with performance mods and custom ECM tuning (Think Ivan ECM mods) with different tuning options that I can select on the fly. My diesel truck has roughly 500HP and 900 ft/lbs torque with minor mods, and I got 21 mpg on the way home yesterday from getting my bike, 17 mpg going to get it with a nasty head wind. About a loss of 1-2 mpg with my tires over stock.
I researched for months before I did anything to my truck as it is my baby and I could talk a lot about everything duramax/diesel.
Thanks for the quick lesson! I'm always amazed what kind figures you can get from those modern diesel motors.
Now if they'd only stop spraying black smoke all over me
