    Even with lift your probably still going to have to trim some areas. What is the actual size of the tire? Example: 285/75-17

    Just throwing this out there, which you may very well have considered already is a tire that large will kill your mpgs.

    I added 40 pounds per wheel going up to 33's and slowed down on the highway by 10 MPH and saw no change in MPG.

    Quite simply put, this is not the norm. Again it has to do with actual tire widths and tread patterns, but the majority loose mpgs with tires that big.

    I went with a 1" larger tire over stock and lost about .5 to 1 mpg.

    I was just putting it out there. Just because you get bigger tires doesn't mean you have to loose mpg. Now if you drive exactly the same you absolutely will. But you don't have to if you change your driving habits. Info that could possible be useful to the OP. But I completely agree with you. Load range, actual size, and tread pattern play a big role. For the record I have Load range E 285/75r16 General Grabber MT's
