MPG and Power After 3'' and 285/65's

Picking up my white DCSH Sport at the end of this month. I cannot wait.... In the meantime I am wondering how the power feels for those with a 3'' lift and 285's (3.5 V6.) Also what kind of MPG's are you getting? Please state the tire if you can.

Thanks!

 

I just got mine done, and MPG's don't really seem to have dropped. Power feels good. I haven't measured exactly what I've been getting but it seems like only a small dip. I watch my tach a lot more now then before though, so I think that makes a difference.

 

Think he was asking about a 2016 which will be different since the motor is different.

 

Yea.. Curious about the 16's with 3.5 Liter. Appreciate the input on the 15' though!

 

Carnack the omnipotent predicts....both will take a hit.

 

Figured, disregard what I said.

Etiquette-wise I'd say if you could refrain from bumping as often it would be appreciated. You guys are upping the post count and it HAS caused me to view in hopes that since its new again and there's posts that there is useful information. Which can be a PITA.

So let's both chill? I'd like to see the answers too, let's give it time to sort itself out though.

Lifted mine this weekend, and though I haven't driven a ton I can say that I am averaging about 17.5 mpg. I currently have my bed cover on to see what the best fuel economy I can get, so we'll see. As far as power goes, no noticeable loss what so ever. Cruising on the freeway at 75mph still just under 2k rpm. #.5 liter engine doesn't seem bothered at all by the bigger tires. By the way, I am running 285/75 17

 

Thank you sir! What trim do you have and what kind of MPG's were you seeing before the lift/tires? Looks like drivers are seeing a wide gap...

Thanks again

 

I have a trd sport DCSB with tech/prem. before the lift I only drove it a week stock, but was seeing around 20mpg

Does it make the ride less smooth?
