I do! They’re heavy though. The truck struggled with these and the stock suspension. The rear end would hop all over the place. The bilsteins react much much better.
I also went from like 19-20 mpg to 15. ??

If you had gone with the 35X12.5R20 you could have gotten a Load F tire that’s 12 ply and weighs 79.8 lbs haha totally necessary. That’s only 12.5lbs more than what you have now lol

Was that change in mileage just from the tires?
I've been looking at the new Falkens but the near 70 lb weight for even the C class tire seems insane.
Stockers are 37lbs.

I think just tires dropped it to about 16/17, plus the leveling dropped it down a little more.
But yes, they’re heavy. Nevertheless, they look really cool and awesome with the BAP wheels.

Thanks! I was afraid of that. 2-3mpg loss seems to be pretty standard for them in factory sizes, let alone moving up.
I agree, they look awesome and seems like they perform great. But with the level too, that's a big hit. I do a lot of highway driving, and a lot of rock time too, so it doesn't seem like there's much option.
Still, there are comparable brands with the same plies and similar construction, and they are 5-10lbs lighter.
Wish there was a bit more data on the impact of each tire on MPG.

To be fair, a lot of the highways I drive on in Dallas have 80+ mph speed limits, and that doesn’t help. According to the cluster (take it for what it’s worth), if I’m cruising at about 72-73 mph, my mileage is still decent, hovering at about 19 mpg. Anything more than that and the mileage drops like a rock. Unfortunately in Texas, I’ll die if I go slow on the highways ?

Best and only fix for rear end hop with a pickup truck with an empty bed is to add a rear sway bar.
Ford has the most boring colors available for its pickup trucks. I bought my 2022 in this color as it was the only one I could find with the 36-gal gas tank and the electronic locking rear differential.
