14.2 mpg... ouch

Actually, contrary to popular belief, more lift actually provides better fuel mileage. The air quality increases as you go higher into the atmosphere, therefore providing a more efficient combustion. It stands to reason that trucks which sit higher away from the ground have better fuel mileage due to the higher quality air at higher altitudes.

 

Not sure if trolling. Show me a lift where the components making the lift weigh less than the stock truck components. Adding massive chunky tires that stick out from the wheel wells isn't making your truck any more aerodynamic.

 

Massive chunky tires actually allow the truck to carry more momentum on the road so you can store energy in the tires via momentum and shut off the truck to save fuel. The stored momentum will propel your truck down the road in proportion to the energy stored. Just make sure you have full synthetic energy storage bearings.

 

With 265/70R17 Duratracs, I'm averaging 16.6mpg. No real change since adding skids, sliders, and a lift.

 

12mpg on a good day with a lots of steel, big heavy tires w/ led foot or light foot.

 

I get around 12mpg with 285/75/16 and a 6" lift

 

14.6 mpg on 285/70r17
