2019+ Rams with Lifts/Levels, and/or aftermarket wheel tire setups

That's refered to as a FULL SQUAT.....lol I like mine with a BABY SQUAT (indicating I have supplies in the back of my truck to work on something)
 
The only other thing I did on the truck was get ceramic tint all around(even windshield) and put a bed cover on it. I do need to find some tow mirrors which would also allow my power folding and blind spot monitoring to work. I've heard of some but I believe they lack the defrost(or heater) option. I'm still looking into it though.

2020 ram 1500 Laramie sport. Coming from a classic ram with air suspension. I was disappointed in rear squat when towing. used Firestone rear air bag to replace shocks and coils. Leveled it with Blistien struts. improved ride when empty. Aired up with 450 tounge weight plus 200 cargo and it only squats half inch and tows great.
and tows great

So I have a Rough Country 3.50-Inch Bolt-On Suspension Lift Kit with Lifted N3 Struts and Premium N3 Shocks and LT275/65R-20 PIRELLI SCORPION ALL TERRAIN PLUS E that weight 58lbs each. So my honest question is that the gas mileage is gone to total crap at 10mpg city and 13&14mpg 70+mph interstate. So I'm thinking of either lowering it down to a 2" with the bilsteins 5100 or getting smaller lighter tires (none E rated tires) 275/60R-20. What are your guys opinions on which would achieve what I'm looking for for some saved mpg. AND YES I KNOW ITS A TRUCK BUT THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

genuine question.... why do people insist on putting fenders like that? like is there a benefit to it or? i cant imagine its JUST for looks for everyone, and i know it doesnt matter b.c its my opinion, but they just look absolutely terrible if it didnt come stock.

Rocks can fly up from your tires and damage your paint on the side of your truck, so fender flares will prevent that.

Also, In some states it’s illegal to have your tires sticking out. So if you’re running wheel spacers, or wider tires, it’s required.

If it helps, I've got an Icon Stage 2 kit (2.5" to 3" lift), 22" wheels and 285/50/22 Toyo AT3 load E tires on my 23 1500. Consistently avg 15.5 mpg city. Also added some weight with Core 4x4 stuff in the rear.

lol.....duh they are STOCK on some trim levels. Also note tryuing to cover the tires to prevent SLING mess eating up the sides of the truck. Mine are like 1.1/4" while the factory flares are 1".

Every wheel tire combo seems different. My wheels are 24mm NEGATIVE offset....well if they were 0 offset all would have been fine. If i changed to Cooper tires it would probably be LESS noticed as they do NOT have a HARD edge on the tire like the BFG's
 
I have flares on mine. Not because I want them. Because they are part of the appearance package. I can assure you that they do not prevent rocks,mud, and slop from pounding the side of the truck.
 
go mudding much? an extra inch of fender is worth its weight in gold
 
Not much mudding. Only if it's on the trail. A lot of water crossings. My paint is trashed from rock damage. Fenders might work but flares are worthless.
