Lift and Larger Tires vs. MPG

[Rdimit62]

I'm loving the 27MPG I'm getting but I suck at keeping my tucks stock. Has anyone lifted their 1500 ECO and put larger tires on, if so, how much MPG did you lose?

LT295/70/18 Nitto Grapplers, lost anywhere from 5-10 mpg in city, highway and towing.

What engine do you have in your current pickup ?

I went with a 3.5” rough country lift. I liked the fuel mileage I was getting stock so I didn’t want to take away from it too much. I also swapped out my big horn rims for a set of rebel wheels and tires. I still have the stock rebel tires which are duratrecs. They are only 33” with 18” rim instead of the 20 but the stock big horn tires were only 31s. I have had this setup for about 2 years. I average about 26-28 on highway drives and 22-24 with my city driving.
