I was wondering who has achieved the best mpg, and still has some form of lift.

What kind of mpg do you get?
How big of a lift?
What kind of tires?
WHats the best tricks to get good mpg?
Is your truck 4x4 or 2wd?
geared different?

thnks

 

16mpg best i can do...1/2 city,1/2 highway. at 65mph my truck runs at 2500rpm.
check sig for truck specs

 

Best tips for MPG is don't lift it... I think if I remember correctly, a few guys on here are getting 15-17 with the lifts, while others complain that they get 12-13. Thats with 33" tires on up.

Best tips, exhaust, intake, tuner, synthetic oil, cruise control, tonneau cover, proper tire pressure, removal of lead foot.

 

I get about 18 mpg driving half city and half highway

3.0 4.10's

How much did it cost to get 4.56 gears installed?
So with a 3 inch lift its possible to get 20 mpg!

 

with a 3.0 manual 2wd, yeah... Mike, fill out your sig so we know what kind of rig you have...

 

With my 4.0 and 3.73 gears... 33x12.5x15 Kumho MT's I've pulled 21 mpg once. That was on literally a straight 300 mile freeway trip with the cruise locked on 68 mph. Pretty much sat at 2.1k RPMs for 4 hours. I have a feeling that the calculation was skewed a bit or something, but that's what it came out to.

But yeah... I can get 20's occasionally even with my lift. More often though, on long trips I usually get around 18. Down around 14-16 with any decent amount of town driving. Any amount of cold weather and it probably drops to 11-12. My truck hates the cold mornings. It chunks the gas like I chunk energy drinks.

 

i get between 15 and 16 around town with 37s and 4.56s

 

16 in the city and around 18 highway.
