    Honestly with 0% sarcasm.........

    Un-install lift and revert back to the OEM tire size. BTW welcome to TW.

    Get rid of the lift and tires. Anytime you lift you will lose mileage unfortunately.

    OVtune and regear, but they will only help you cannot modify a truck and expect it to keep stock MPG.

    How much did it go down? I was thinking of keeping street tires for every day and fun tires for weekend bashing, maybe that's an option just to buy some stock tires.

    The diffrence in mpg between 70 mph and 80 mph on my highway commute is about 1.5 mpg. Can't imagine what I would see if it was lifted with tires.

    I like to get up to speed, put the truck in neutral and shut off the engine. Then coast until you come to a stop. Fyi when you get to speed below 10 mph you may want to drive on the shoulder. Then restart the truck and keep repeating this process until you've arrived at your destination.

    You will get all the sarcastic responses from everyone that has done the same lift tire combo and at some point ask the same question. But as everyone points out bigger tires mean less gas mileage.
