I get about 14mpg in my truck with the 4.6 5" rough country and 35's theres no way that doing a lift and bigger tires will increase your gas mileage. I dropped almost 6mpg when i did mine. Also if your towing a lot you better hope you have the 5.4 because the 4.6 with stock gears and 35"s will be hurting even towing that light of a boat. Trust me on that one I tow a boat almost every weekend and its only small and you know its there.

Wow, I've read a few of the posts on this thread and it seems a few people need to review the first few chapters of their physics books. I mean, come on, some of it's common sense...
