Range Loss Inquiry

[Dezarah]

Thinking of putting a 2 inch level kit and some 275/60 all terrain tires on my Lightning. Wheels are 20” with a +18 offset. Can anyone who has a similar set up provide how much range loss they had?

Somewhere between 5 and 10%.

Has it been noticeable for you?

10% definitely seems high but it that’s the case.. ya.. you’re going to notice a 50km difference in your range lol. Do you have an extended range?

Yes, it's noticeable but it still fits within my needs. The at tires are louder, the offset gives it more lateral stability but increases drag. The faster you drive the more losses you'll notice. I say 5-10% because the hit will be overall 5% but could be as high as 10% on the highway. This is with a baseline of stock rims and general grabbers hts. I drive off highway alot, once I burn off my current ATs I'll be switching back to the stock rims with some Lt ATs. I'm hoping to get back some range when the wheels don't stick out an inch and a half.

Ya, you’ll notice it. But it also depends on what you use the truck for. If you don’t max out the battery too often then you’re fine. I personally wouldn’t be able to level my truck. Otherwise I would be having to charge to 95-100% every time I charge.
