no i did not put a lift on it and the fronts just barely rub when i turn sharp one way. I have doublecoin 255/70/22.5 i beleive i will double check.they actually are considered on my smarty 39" to get the speedo meter correct. BTW im selling the truck so possibly if whoever buys it if they dont want the 22.5's i might have em for sale

How did the 22.5s affect your mileage?

Hmmm that does seem a little low. Keep off the right foot and get some good tuning in it.

What kind of gearing does it have right now?

dangerous1965 if a dealer has worked on your trucks and left injector tubes loose it will stall, have hard starts, have to use starting fluid to start and a bunch of other problems and I was trying to let someone know the facts that if your injector tubes are loose to check them to see if they are tight which if free if you do it yourself. Unlike you, Who would drain your crankcase to try and solve a problem. Makes no sense to me. But if it works for you, DO IT! NO ONE SHOULD DO IT!!! Before you offer advise, try it yourself and let us know how it works out.
