8" lift 37's gas mileage
 
Now i know once you lift your truck you should forget about gas mileage but i am thinking about getting the 8" rize kit on my 04 screw fx4 5.4L and was just curious what gas mileage you all were getting with 8" lift and 37's
thanks

I am a tad bit taller than a 8" rize and i am on 36's. I am getting about 10 around town and about 13-14 on the highway. This is according to my edge. Pretty much its going to suck. Getting taller gears may help you a little. :smoke:

You don't need to worry about gas mileage with them specs, cause it will suck...:lol:

Well, I'm back on stock tires for now, and I only get 10mpg driving in stop and go traffic up and down the hills in Socal. I don't know how you guys get so good on tires that big.
