Gas Mileage w/ Lift

[ramhunter9]

I have a 6" lift and 37x13.5 tires with 4:10 gears SC tuner .. with all the added weight of bumpers , winch ect .. I scaled in at a tad over 10,500 pounds .
I get 9-10 city and 11-12 hwy

And I never complain

When you lift a truck it's all about smiles per gallon not miles per gallon

Like ramhunter said I never complain....it's a truck....a lifted truck on 37s

Hey, I could use some knowledge lol
I have a 2010 Ram 1500 26k on it great condition stock...im gettin a 6" rough country lift for it and some 20"xd rims and all terrain 33" tires...its gets about 19- 20 mpg highway now...is this gonna KILL my mpg? if so what other mods can i do it to to gain a little back...besides new exhaust and intake ?....id love some solid advice or suggestions ??

Sure exhaust and a CAI would always help. Having a programmer on it without the CAI or exhaust it won't get the full benefits of the tuner.

33s are stock size tires. Those will be far too small for a 6" lift. You're essentially only gaining body height on the truck. To me the point in lifting is to get bigger tires for more ground clearance. The size of my trucks has saved me a lot on interstates running over debris and etc.
If you're just getting it for looks then still 33s will look tiny.
Just a heads up. So you're not unhappy with it.

May add my 37s put my rpms in a sweetspot for okay mileage on the interstate. I can get 15 if I'm mindful of it. But around town and such probably low 11.

4.7 motor so mpg is worse than the hemi, stock gears, no exhaust, no CAI, no tune, and a 7" lift sitting on 35's. I avg 12 city 14 hwy. Was getting 14 city 17 hwy when stock.
