What's your average mpg on your lifted truck? And what kind of tires/lift?

That's exactly what I was planning 4" on 35s. I didn't think it would drop that much. Mine is all stock and I'm averageing 20.5

That's not bad at all for heavy footed driving especially with 37s and 9"

That's what I say! I'm 65% highway so that helps. My boss has a powerjoke:) 350 4" on 35s an he says I get better mpg. Of course he'd smoke me with his tuner but I make his truck look like a Tonka truck

Looks like the consensus is about 5 mpg no matter what lift. Definitely something to think about. I appreciate everyone's I put.
