Will leveling truck height in front, reduce my MPG’s?

[GrantP]

Isn't that why most people level their trucks? The slight improvement in ground clearance is nice, and spacer provides that too.

Maybe so. I'm always looking for better performance in a suspension system. Depends on how you use the truck I guess.

So you're going to waste money on spacers so you can do it correctly with springs later? If budget is a concern then you might as well just leave it stock and do it right when you are ready. @AEdelheit suggestion is a good one, spacers are only cosmetic.

Yeah, I will have to see where I can find stock rate springs that will level the truck. Not really wanting soft springs. It may take a while to find the right spring. Meanwhile, I found 1-1/2” spacers through Top Gunz.

If you haven't bought them yet I have a set I'll give you for shipping. They are used, were on my truck when I bought them and removed them. I'd have to double check on the height but I think they are 2".

Edit: just realized you have a 2010, not sure that they will even work. The spacers came off a 14.

I know what you mean. Not sure a softer spring would be better loaded up.

Thanks for the offer, anyways. I found some 1-1/2” spacers. They should do the trick.

On my 06 G56 truck 37s did help my highway mileage since the OD was so bad on those early G56 trucks. Stock was about 2500 RPM at 75, with 37s is was around 2000 RPM and made a huge difference, no so much in town or towing.



Bilstien makes a leveling coil too, they are stiff and dont ride great but are a full replacement coil.

We do have some low final drives on these older G-56's. My 35" Toyo's gave me a little rpm relief but it's still 2000 rpm@ 65 mph.

I’m a big fan of the T700. I’ve flown with 701’s, 701C’s, and 701D/CC’s. I’ll get to fly full up 701D’s this summer.


With the suspension style of 03-12 a 2” spacer makes for a stiff ride, and the coil options usually want more than 2” lift to get a good ride.

On my 05 I ran a 1” Top Gunz Customs spacer that was much better riding than the 2” spacer that was on the truck when I bought it.

So I’d recommend a 1” spacer, or a 3” coil.

You define the term multi tasker. Copter pilot,oh yeah.
