Flow below claims you can gain up to 2.23% with their tandem drive treatment kit, pictured in the attached image.

I modified my mudflaps to version 2.3 also pictured.

My partial bellypan did take me for a curve, I assumed the lip on the underside of the bumper were straight. I could possibly tidy it up a bit, but it seems to have tucked the bottom of the bumper up ever so slightly.

FlowBelow's claims are real but the Frieghtliner version are better.

Send me your truck number and I'll look up your spec and give you some ideas. (white sticker on the frame rail visible though the driver size front wheel well)
