Looks great - any leveling kit or lift, or is that stock with just the tire and wheel swap? Do you have the ORP?
Thanks, no leveling kit or lift, not ORP. Just a little trim to the front passenger wheel wheel liner. Had them on for 6+ months, no issues.

Your fuel economy is probably not as bad as you think. The Rebel tires are more than an inch bigger in diameter than your stock Laramie tires were. Which means your odometer and speedometer are now off, as are your mileage calculations. Unless you updated the computer for the new tires size, you're basing your fuel mileage calculations on faulty data.
I did update my computer for the new tire size so my speedo would be correct. I did remove my "air dam" thing from under the truck at the same time though so in all fairness that could also slightly affect it.

I removed my air dams too. It didn't affect my fuel economy enough to notice the difference, but it probably reduced it slightly.

I tried the 55 up front and 45in the back because that’s recommended pressure on the door sticker. Was very stiff. Brought the front down to 45 and it was a much more enjoyable ride. Switched the Duratracs out for KO2s and I’ve left them at 45 as well.

I'm running 50 front, 40 rear year round. Ride is a little rough but not bad, keeps the 10 psi difference front to rear.

Is the ride better, same or worse with the KO2's?

Ride seems about the same to me. Performance in both is outstanding. The biggest difference - the NOISE. KO2s have almost zero added noise unlike the Duratracs. For that sole reason I’d pick the KO2s any day of the week.

Thank for the feedback. (y)

I'm leaning in that direction for my next set. 💿

Just got my wheels back from powdercoating. Now I need to install my Bilstein kit and order some tires.

This thread helped me to pull the trigger so I’ll share my pictures for others. 2021 Laramie with ORG. Surprisingly, I get a very small amount of rubbing at full lock. I likely just need to adjust or trim a tiny bit.
