So been looking around thinking of different ideas thought of bilstein in front and 2500 shocks in back, doing a level or going a bit bigger. So where I'm at ,no matter what I want 12.5" wide tires,
First setup
Rc 2.5 front 1.75 rear 33/12.5 atturo mt tire rim 17/9 -24mm offset

Second
Rc 3.75 lift with 35/12.5 same rim

Third
Pls600 5" lift 35 tire same rim

My concern I'm in last year of college traveling about 70 Kms one way so at least 700 a week so mpg is a concern but realistically from these three set ups will I lose that much from the first to third, after school don't care bout mpg I would like third option
My truck: 2009 1500 qc hemi 3.55 4x4 only have 14" magnaflow muffler, will have y pipe and future tuner and somthing done with intake, and some may say hold off but I need tires I still have factorys and they are almost slicks and my work can get me parts for cost or close and I may not be there during school

Looking on the atturo site the 33 is about 6 lbs lighter vs the 35 and with them both being 12.5 wide rolling resistance would be same, and I understand that 33 to 35 the speedo will be off, so that would need to be re calibrated and tires vs lift mpg will be affected most by tires so any input will help

There isn't going to be a huge difference in mpg between a 33" and 35" MT tire. Especially if there's only a 6 pound difference between the two. I would recommend going for the full lift and 35's. When I had a 6" lift on my 1500 with 35's and a Bully Dog tuner I was averaging about 15.5 mpg.

+1 to Brandon. Couldn't have said it any better.

That's what I was hoping for, wasn't sure if it had somthing to do with ratios or somthing, thinking combo lift now and maybe 6" when schools done , I want the height of the 5" but don't wanna mess around with the exhaust, or will I still have to with 1.5" body lift

So after months to save and think, I have spent some money, first off big shout out to Andrew from bully's thank you so much with the help, so I bought the rough country level kit with a zone 1.5" body lift giving me about 4" lift as for tires Canadian tire had a deal on buy3 get 4th free so I got the general grabbers at2 275/65/r20, this weekend the level and tires will go on the body will be later
