This truck is just blowing my mind in every way possible. It is powerful, reliable and is now getting great gas mileage. Around 20 consistantly. And the looks are incredible. I think I am in love all over again. :)Am I missing something or can someone help please?:D

How is clearance up front with those 295/70/17's? Sig does not indicate lift or leveling kit. Did you just crank t-bars and have to trim anywhere?

Nice looking rig.

Thanks man, I only cranked the front 1/2" with minimal trimming on both front fenders and inner skirt. If you need more details give me a holla...

Every time I get in it, I just want to keep driving it. I know where my stimulus check is going. She needs to Breath!

I still love my 07 LBZ even with the high fuel prices. I made a trip to VA Beach two weeks ago and got 20.5 mpg for the whole trip around 400 miles total.

I'd be just as happy as you guys except for two things. #1 My wife hates the seats and refuses to go anywhere in it #2 My mileage sucks.

Other than that, for what I use it for, it's a good truck.

I have had 3 powerstrokes, my lbz is so much better. Fast, quite and gets great mileage too. I run 14-15 in town and 17 on the highway at 80mph all the time. When I am in the UP running 60 or so I get 20mpg easy.

I am getting ready to do the airbox mod soo.

There are 2 loves in my life.

The wife
The truck.

Not sure which one comes first though. :D

Yes every time you turn the key it's like a switch in your brain get's switched on where that life is a highway song is playing and all you want to do is drive.

if i keep it at 65-70 i pull 20-21mpg calculated with tire size figured in. if i cruise 75+ it goes down considerably. towing the 5er its anywhere from 6 in a nasty headwind to 8-10 normally. with the old 22ft warrior is would keep 12-13 anywhere
