Did the OTT tune help with mileage at all? Very interested on your thoughts for that OTT tune, I'm really considering it. How much was it and did you take it to one of their "tuners" or did you do it yourself?
I am a huge fan of the OTT tune. I paid 700 dollars to a local so cal tunner (tk 421 tunning). Took about 30 minutes. The truck is about the same mpg wise. However, the truck has so much more power and responsiveness that it's hard to hyper mile it. I will say the bigger tires did way more too negatively affect gas milage. The stage 1 OTT tune changes a lot about the truck from adding cooling to changing all of the drive modes for the better. With premium the truck makes about 308hp and 377lb-ft accroding to an OTT dyno pull chart. So in addition to the benefits of a more responsive throttle and a smarter transmission you gain a lot of tangible power. It makes the truck a lot of fun.
I know they have different options for the tunes, which one did you get? I think i remember reading there is a base and then an enhanced version or something.
Stage 1 which I believe is the enhanced version.
What did the 820s give you for a lift up front from stock springs..great looking truckSo here is what I ended up going with:
Method 703 black 17" +35 offset
Toyo Open Country A/T III 35x12.5 C load ~35psi (still playing around with psi)
Dobinson 820 front springs
Dobinson 819 rear springs
Tire poke is the same as stock, come right to the edge of the TH fenders. Slight rake when there is no weight in the bed other than my Leitner rack and gear pods by design so there is no sag once I load it up. I might end up doing a 1" spacer up front If i find that it doesn't sag too much with what I take camping and fishing, still testing all that out and seeing what I end up loading up with. Did remove the crash bracket, pretty sure it would have rubbed with any flex. Other than that no trimming at all.
Rides amazing. Not too harsh, takes bumps well, takes smaller obstacles and ditches very well. Feels way more stable and planted on sharper turns. Went over several ~7" drops offs and everything felt great. I haven't had a chance to really put it all to the test yet, just went on the closest trail to me that was pretty easy as an initial test. Anything harder is like 3-4hrs away minimum and haven't had the chance yet.
Even at 60lbs per tire, I can notice a tiny bit of acceleration loss but it's nothing major at all. I was averaging 16.3mpg according to the truck (i'm not on the highway a lot) and after the wheels and tires I reset it. Now averaging 15.1 which I think is actually really good considering each wheel is 27lbs for a total wheel and tire weight of 87lbs.
Snapped some pics while unloading my fishing gear, that kayak only weighs about 50lbs (Hobie Lynx) and the rest of the bed is empty so that's not affecting the rear height at all in the pics.
