I would say most if you put larger tires its going to throw your speed odometer off .I would say it would your arodynamics of the truck even though you are driving a brick.I haven't seen a Dodge aka Ram get good gas mileage yet.

I'm averaging about 15 with an 8in lift and 37" tires. Think you will be ok with just the level lift

It's far more the weight of the AT or MT tires than the lift kit.

I don't even pay attention to the fuel use....I just know that I'm doing far better with the Hemi and 3.92 gears than I was with my gutless 2010 Ford F150 with the 5.4 Triton V8.
