Any noticeable loss of mpg’s?

I drove almost 100 miles today and did not notice any difference from when I switched to oversized tires. It was 0.2 mpg less than my average but I was doing 72 mph for most of the drive

It's been said that the difference is minimal, even if you drive conservatively and use the cruise control religiously.

Ummm, I was referring to the delete of NorCals air dam.

Sorry if my response was confusing. I didn’t notice any difference from having the air dam on mpg-wise. Putting bigger tires on is the only thing I’ve noticed to decrease my mpg. If you’ve been considering it I would definitely take the air dam off ?

Installed a rear sway bar ?  The red looks sooooo good under the truck.  Now I am not jealous of the TRD sway bars on the Tundras!!

Feels really solid just driving around normal. I have it in the middle setting.  Im going to purchase the front sway bar to match and the whole truck should feel solid even being slightly lifted ?

Clears my full size 33" spare no problem. Air lift bags aren't in the way or anything. Everything fits great.  The end-links are adjustable as well for higher lifted trucks, but these will only go up just a few MM more.

how much bigger is the new front swaybar?

 

i have the same rear bar, i like mine at the stiffest setting, but this causes the rear end to loose traction under power when turning hard. i would like to go bigger  bar up front and soften the rear setting for better traction in town...

 

i do have the locking rear diff so it tends to cover up any wheel spin if i stay on the throttle and keep the axels locked up. but the middle to softest setting doesnt really have much of any improved handling, go to the stiffest ...tell me what you think then

I put the Hellwig on mine, I need to order the rear one as well, there pretty beefy, solid not hollow

the picture of the bar used on the amazon listing is not correct but the part number is, *note it does not use or need the spacer that may be noted in the listing.

This isn't a hellwig just to be clear, this is a Nolathane new rear sway bar. I was test mule for it. Its just 2mm bigger than hellwig and still 3 hole adjustable. Technically they dont have a front bar listed for a silverado but the 2015 Tahoe bar should definitely fit. Which is a 38mm.

Yes, and no they do not, not sure about the 19's and 20's.

 

Last truck I had with that set up was my 08.

are the tweeters in the dash then or door panels? I have the bose audio but i don't think it is the highest one, mine has two speakers on the upper dash and then mid range or subs in all 4 doors, I am not really impressed with it at all just makes the door panels rattle like shit.  I plan on yanking the door speakers out and put in component set's and a sub under the rear seat but normally the bose tweeters can still have some use.

There are two, a 6 speaker, and then the 7 version is the upgraded factory Bose.

 

I have two large "tweeters", more like a big mid-range in the dash, two larger mids in the front doors, and then two slightly smaller mid speakers in the rear doors. 7th speaker in this set up is the sub woofer located under the center console.

More of what I’m doing tomorrow to my truck lol

 

Have fuel sledges on my truck now but I’ve never really liked them. For a 20” wheel there are too many spokes on the sledge and a pain in the ass to clean. So I’m swapping them out tomorrow am for the gloss black MO970’s

Yeah, me too.  I've seen several postings about guys removing their airdams and not seeing any real change (+/-) in their MPGs.
