About 4 weeks ago, I traded in my leveled, dechromed/debadged '15 Sierra SLT...

On Saturday, after a 2 week shipping delay, I swapped in a set of 275/60-20 Cooper Discoverer 4S tires on 20x9 et 0 Level 8 Hauler wheels:

The stock 20s with the 32" tires weigh 75lbs each. The Coopers on the Level 8 wheels weigh 80lbs each, so I gained an inch but only 5lbs of unsprung weight. Driven about 200 miles since the swap and gas mileage is unchanged. Zero difference. Tires are silent, and ride beautifully. The Ram ride quality was a huge reason I bought the truck so as much as I wanted a bigger diameter, I was hell bent on not going to a heavy E-rated tire. And as much as I love the look of a leveled truck, I am holding off for now because I would only want the Mopar lift kit and that's not in the budget at the moment. Very happy with how this set up looks and performs, though. Few more angles:
