I can't speak for your truck, but controlling airflow in the wheel arches and around the tire seems to be a much bigger deal.
What do you think?

Are you suggesting that I pull various pieces off and see what happens or pull everything off except fer the rear wheel skirts?
The side skirts keep the air between the belly pan and the bottom of the truck from bleeding out. My belly pan is a dropped belly pan method. There is about a 5" gap between the bottom of the truck and the top of the belly pan.
If I pull the aero cap, all the belly pans, rear diffuser, side skirts, and crossbeam supports...should I keep the rear wheel strakes in place or pull those as well?? Do I need to put the front air dam back up to the stock position? If I do that, then I'll need to pull the front air dam belly pan as well. It would take me about an hour to pull everything but a good day to put everything back in place. Not sure I want to go through all that just to see what the rear wheel skirts will do on it's own...
