Nope. 2.5" AS and no change. Tires, that will make a difference.

I have the same truck as Blue with exception of it being a 4x and I put in the 2" AS kit. After several tanks I've noticed only a minimal difference in mileage (~18) and that could be more from driving habits or using the AC more. You change the aerodynamics a little and pick up a bit more wind, but its not going to get into your pocket.

X2, drag will change slightly but you will probably not even be able to notice it at the pump.

x2. Definitely the most bang you can get for under a 100 bucks. I just wish a hundy would go as far with all the other mods I plan to do.

Just throwing the AS on, I didnt notice any difference in highway milage...could still pull 20mpg easy enough.
Once I put the tires on though (325/60-18) I havent gotten over 18 on the highway...
