I think Ang is ok with it
Being a CRD, the mileage shouldn't change much. Hopefully I'll add a chip soon so it will off set any. It is going to be hard to know for sure with the switch to winter fuel coming at the same time....Other CRD guys report little to no change in mileage.
Picking a tire size was frustrating!! it came down to only 2 real choices. 235-85-16 or 245-70-16. Staying with the stock rims made it harder. 245's will rub the front swaybar when turning, and the 235's are just a little taller than ideal. But they fit and no major rubbing....just a little on the liner of the front wheel well when turned and compressed. Gotta visit Carlson for some bump stops.
The lift was 2.5" and the tires were about 1" (29.5" to 31.7" tires) So the belly is up 3.5 and the axle only an inch or so.
