2020 Carbon Pro - Suspension/ Wheel & Tire Upgrade

[Beck007]

Hey guys and gals,

I have a stock 2020 Carbon Pro with the 3.0. I love my truck for the mpg BUT I want to beef it up a little bit…. With that being said I am running the Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT (265 60 R20) which seem to be hindering my fuel economy quite alot compared to other posts I have seen.

My questions is this- What Tire/Wheel setup (Minimal Trimming, if any) and what front/rear suspension will allow me to get great fuel economy with a custom truck look?? I planned on just leveling the truck, unless someone has a good reason to advise otherwise?

Thanks All!

What kind of fuel mileage are you getting currently?

1,340 Miles averaged @ 21.5 MPG. No real “Highway Driving” so to speak. Just some small town living.

I have 2020 6.2 Carbon Pro and just installed Bilstein 5100 series on all corners. The front are ride height adjustable and gained a little over an 1” of front lift. This left me with .5” rear rake, which I am okay with since I tow a wakeboat. This was a inexpensive suspension upgrade with huge improvements in overall ride quality.

Current tires stock duratracs on factory 18” wheels. I am considering Falken, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss, Nitto Recon Grapplers (285/75/18).
current fuel combined is 19.6, but averaging on the highway 22.3 mpg.

Those numbers will improve as the engine breaks in. Summer blend diesel will also get better mpg.
