Front air dam
Does anyone know a part number and where is the best place to order a new front air dam but a two wheel drive version for the new 17? I'm just curious if its worth it or not to change my four wheel drive version for this, I dont like how far down it hangs on my?

Reducing air turbulence and drag under the truck while driving, thereby improving fuel economy. Some have reported a drop of up to 2 mpg when removing the valence all together. I'm sure switching to the 2wd valence also results in a mpg drop, but that didn't stop me from doing it.

Most that have kept good records of before/after air dam have reported somewhere between .5-1mpg difference on the average fuel economy so about 2 gallons on the 34 gal tank or ~$4 for every fill up that you spend extra.

Second reason is to help the radiator vent better. The air coming through the radiator is moved faster by the increased vacuum under the truck and thus better cooling when under load at speed.
