Lost MPG After Small Lift (5.3)

To no one’s surprise, the truck’s average mpg has dropped since I installed a 2” lift all around and put on 33’s.
HOWEVER, I didn’t expect it to drop as much as it did. I have a short commute to work at an ideal speed for mpg; about 40-50mph the whole commute. My average mpg dropped from the high teens to almost single digits.
There is a Range brand plug in installed that keeps it in V8, but that has been in since i purchased the truck and was in when i was achieving 18-20 average mpg.

I HATE MY CITY

Our Silverado was stolen. Police said they'd recovered it, so... Good news right? We call and call with no response. This was our ONLY VEHICLE! after 2 months we finally got someone, they said we now owe $700 storage and when we got there... Look at this!

2026 GMC Denali Ultimate 22" Wheels On My 2025 Silverado High Country

Just installed these today and wanted to share a couple pictures. I know that these aren't everyones cup of tea but they are one of my favorite wheels so I'm happy. Bought them as new takeoffs off of ebay. They even came with Chevy center caops which was a nice touch.

Theres rust under it too like maybe 70% of the under but just on the surface of it.

Thanks in advanced !

3.5” or 4” BDS lift

I currently have 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 RST 3.0 duramax, trying to decide from the BDS 3.5” or 4” lift.

Currently I have 275/65R20 with stock wheels. After deciding the lift I was thinking about 285/65/R20 or 35/12.5R20 Rebel 6 wheels with a -18 offset and Falken Wildpeak AT4W tires.

Please help with the design I’m trying to achieve.

New truck owner

Owned this beauty for a few weeks now and it’s been great. It’s my first real truck and first vehicle I’ve owned (one that is not financed). Excited for adventures and hauling stuff from place to place!

Share your most impressive trailers!

Let's see your most impressive trailer setups! Especially ones that transport multiple boats. The bigger the better!

Hosted my friend's F18 on my trailer for about a month and traveling 1000 miles. We did two 3-day Catamaran Racing Association of Michigan events in the Michigan "Thumb" and the "UP". This was done to free up his hitch to pull our Race Committee power boat.

Think I'm sold on the 2.7L Turbomax. Question is, get a '26 or wait for the '27?

After hours of research, im sold on the 2.7L Turbomax. Seemingly the most reliable GM engine right now & will tow anything i will need to tow (mainly 4500lb camper). The only thing that has me weary about this pickup is the 8-speed transmission. So the question is, try & grab a discounted '26 while they make room for the '27, or get a '27 with the 10-speed transmission?

We just stepped up from a 24’ 2500HD Custom to a 26’ 2500HD ZR2 we had Timbrens on the custom which helped with towing our 30’ Tavel Trailer.
Not wanting to put air
Bags on.
Curious if anyone has experience with Timbrens on a ZR2 my nephew has RAS and may go that route.
