I have 2.5 leveling kit an 33" tires now and I get 11.8 mpg. This week I'm getting bigger lift an 35s installed so I can't imagine how awful my mpg will be. Any recommendations? I know I'm dumb for getting bigger lift an tires, u don't have to tell me :) ha

I average about 18 MPG highway and all I do is 80. Maybe I found the right speed to get good MPGs. =)

Get the BB tune. Typical mpg increase is 1 to 2 mpg, and way better drivability. It's the combo of tire weight, more drag (lifted front), and speedometer is off.

11.8 mpg is really low. Is that per DIC or calculated by hand? Should confirm with GPS.

Yeah, mpgs will tank with the 35s. Let us know how it changes.

Did you recalibrate your speedo after the 33" tires?
