hey guys just a general question here, im puttin a 3" BL and 33x11.5x16 dick cepeks FC II and 16x8 dick cepek dc2 rims on my 07 4x4. can anybody who has a similar setup tell me how this affected the performance/gas mileage? and what do i have to do with the TPMS ?thanks.

 

I have a '96 4.0 ohv 4x4 with a 5-speed 4.10 axles on 33x10.5 KM2's I average 15 MPG 16/14 freeway/city

 

its going to depend on your gears, with 3.73's i woundnt expect much.. however with 4.10s it wount be as bad. I have an 02 with 4.10s and 33x12.50x15 on an 8" steel wheel. i would say im fairly peppy, and depending on how i drive i can get 22 on the highway, or in town, 15-17mpg.

 

x2 mine is a 04 4.10 5speed with 33x12.50x15 / 15x10 wheels, mine is the same as dans

 

another thing to consider is the weight of the tire its self. Dick C's tend to be heavy, but with 11.5's as apposed to a 12.5 it may balance out. rotating mass will kill your mileage

 

I can't give you exact numbers but my '07 mileage seemed to stay the same because I drive almost all highway. If you're a city driver be prepared for quite a drop!

 

whats it cost for a 3 in lift? would it void my warranty?

 

can you guys post side shots of the 33's with 3 inch lift

 

it all depends on your dealership... ive heard some are stingy about their warranties and "aftermarket mods" ... on the other hand.. a bodylift doesn't alter anything.. just raises the body up 3".. so you really shouldnt have a problem..
..and some candy. 3" Bodylift

 

where did you buy that tool box? does it fit with a back rack and how much??? lol

 

your truck is sick, the blue with the dsg paint is the best colour combo.

 

Yea I have 3.73's with the 3.0 and unfortunately my mileage has dropped quite considerably.

 

its just a deezee low profile toolbox.. from my local van & truck world.. it was 370+tax.. little steep but it works great, and looks good too!

and oddly enough my neighbor has an fx4 with a deezee box (not low pro) and backrack... i think he had to boost up the box with some steel tubing to allow it to sit flush with the rack.. if that makes any sense..

thank you, its my pride and joy!
