gas killer

With the 97-03 model F150's, does anybody know how many miles per gallon you lose from putting on 33's or 35's (probably about 6" lift) on a 2WD with a V6 engine? Right now I think I get about 16-17. How badly would it affect it?

id say since its 2wd and a v6 u'll prolly get around 11-12 until you add gears and a chip and stuff like that...

yeah 4.10's or 4.56's will help out alot but... if you dont regear you will defintely feel the power loss with 35's.. an probably with 33's a little!
