Hey guys,
From your experience has lifting your trucks changed the gas milage? I know adding bigger tires will, because of the exta load.
But what about lifing.
Thanks for the help

 

yes just lifting it will effect mpg, the reduced areodanatacity(like the spelling) but the big loss comes from the increased rolling risistance and unsprung whight caused by bigger tires, if you regear this can be reduced, i get about 11 mpg with all my mods

 

Im getting about 12.5 with 5" lift and 35s. Im only running 3.73 gears currently as well

 

is regeering expensive or hard to do? i noticed there is a wide range in price, guess this is a get what you pay for kinda deal?

 

yes it is expensive(400-600$)per axle and it is complicated and time consuming to do needing tools the normal do it yourself mech may not have, bearing press, micromiter, but i have done my fare share of gear installs and if you take your time and have the right tools and follow instructions very well it can be done by you
