The leveling kit really will not do anything to your mileage. I ran my 2.5" kit for a year with no other mods. I did not notice any difference. Once I put on my 33's? Then that is another story!

Like many have already stated.
A level kit on its own will do [almost] nothing to your MPG.
But rarely, if at all ever, will someone level their trucks without the addition of a wheel and/or tire combo.
That's when the MPG numbers may change significantly.... dependent almost entirely on what wheel/tire package you so desire.

I have a 2017 Lariat with 3.5liter,355 rear gears,scab,etc.FX4,7000# GVWR package
Was wondering about lowering the rear,to look level with front.
wondering about pinion angle changes,rear shocks bottoming out....etc and gas mileage,using stock wheel/tires = 275/55R-20 BSW All-Terrain[factory wheel+tire for Lariat special edition
I would like the truck level,but not at the expense of ride,handling,fuel mileage .....
thank you
