4" lift w/35 vs 6" lift w/37 -- MPG?

[W69DY]

Aight guys humor/educate me here with these two combos. I know mpg and lifted trucks don't mix but I'm curious as to what it is. I'll be lifting my 2014 sport in the near future and can't decide on which combo. I'll be running a DS tuner, exhaust and Vararam intake. What cha think my gas mileage will be? Thanks in advance!

Believe it or not, I'm getting 1mpg less with a 6" and 37s than I was leveled with 35s.

What's your gas mileage?

After running the setup for a month it seems to be staying at 11.3. All in town.

Intake and tuner in the near future. Right now I've just replaced the whale muffler with a flowmaster super10. Bought the pieces today to delete my resonators.

That's the muffler I wanna run. Got to let know how she sounds. What's deleting the resonators do?

I get 11.7-12.3 L/100 kms (19-20 us mpg) doing 90 km/h on cruise. My average usually sits around 14 L/100 kms (17-18 us mpg) when I go back and forth to work (in city) as well as drive highway.


I have the mods you want, except instead of vararam I went with S&B.

I like it with them, just always itching to do something different.

MPG--No

Gallons per mile--Yes

I'm gettin anywhere from 11.8 to 12.5. Nvr seen 13 again since the lift.

Maybe if I drive really slow and all down hill I might hit 13 again.

**** my mileage is pretty good in comparison to you guys! I dropped 4-5 mpg US with my lift and tires.

I'm seeing 13mph(mostly city) since putting on the 35's, but I'm only running a leveling kit. With the stock sized BFG I was high 15- low 16's.

Geezus!! That is ridiculous
Right now I'm running 34s (295/60r20) and I'm averaging ~14.5 mpg hand calc (stupid evic shows 16.2). Those numbers are freaking me out. Funny that in my JK Unlimited with full skids, sliders, fr & rr bumpers, winch, full size spare and 37" bfgs I was getting the same 14.5 mpg.

I'm dying to move up to 37s, but not sure about the mpg. That's a huge diff from the 17-18 I was getting stock. I know you gotta pay to play, but still....

I thought mine was bad.

Any pics of your truck?

Idk how your only getting 9ish... Unless you race everywhere you go.

Wouldn't think 3" of lift over a 6incher would cause that.

Really curious.

 

[JGBimle]

I'm getting 13.0 currently with 6" lift and 37s

 

[R.L.K.]

Everyone should post what they wer getting all stock no lift so you can effectively determine driving styles , also 6 or 8 speed and differential ratio .

2500 w/ 6.4 8" lift 37x13.5 and get 11 mpg 40-60 hwy/city. Also I have 4.56 gears.

8 Speed hemi with 4'' lift and 35's. I do not restrict the way i drive at all and I will get 13.8 at the end of a tank. I need to do some research to see if a tuner can get me a few more.

This is what I plan on doing but I'll have a DS tuner w/hemifever tune, vararam intake, spin tech exhaust and a catch can. So I'm hoping for 15 mpg lol
