275/65/20 Falken Wildpeak A/T4W Tires Ordered

[BoostN]

I'm using a set of factory TrailBoss takeoffs (Duratracs) and I can't stand the sound anymore. They are the loudest tires I've ever owned and I've owned 35's on a lifted 2500HD Duramax!

Anyways, I found this old post from 2 years ago about me complaining then:

Bilstein 5100 Shocks Installed on LM2 / RST Silverado

I finally bit the bullet this week and installed the bilstein 5100's all around on my RST trim truck. I set the front at 2" ( 1 down from max ) and then put in a 1" rear block to help the overall stance. Overall I'm pleased. I still have the stock size tires on the truck.. I'm going to debate a...

They should be in mid week, and I'll post some before after pictures then. They are expensive. But I felt like the 275/65/20 is a pretty common size for my ride height and people seem to still love the Falkens.. My previous set was the AT3's.. which they replaced with the AT4 now.

Tires were installed today... overall I'm happy. They are pretty quiet. Not stock quite by no means, but a lot better then the Duratrac's I removed.

The pictures really doesn't do it justice, but I was amazed at the stance difference by adding these vs what I had on there.. it really fills up the fenders.

Ain't nothing wrong with the Wildpeaks. Enjoy the quietness.

Update..

You can see my fuel logs in my signature, but it seems like I've lost a solid 3 MPG by upsizing to these tires... I would post the obvious answer that I didn't buy a pickup for optimal mileage, but still 22-23 is not bad for a full size truck. I will add, we've had horrible weather the past few weeks so that likely contributes to the bad mileage as well.
