Does a level affect MPG's
Guys -
I wanted some sound proof, that a level does or does not effect gas mileage. I am debating it for my truck, only for that reason. I have already lose some MPG's with the bigger wheels, and since most of my driving is highway im trying not to lose much more. Thanks guys! |
Maybe going 75 mph into a 40 mph headwind but normal driving it would be hardly noticed. My '04 was leveled 2 1/2 inches and I couldn't tell. Tires are the biggest factor.

It will affect it adversly slightly. A lift is much worse. If it's the look you want, it will be worth it.
|
Add the level you will be fine. With that 2011 you can prob just go with a 1.5" kit anyways.
|
its more of the heavier tires affecting mpg than a level, id say do it, a leveled truck looks so much better imo
|
Didn't affect me much if any. Still get 16 average which is where I was before.
|
im gonna prob just do the 1.5, thats the difference when i measured it.
Plan on doing the exhaust, will do both at same time and then im done with the mods. with these last 2 mods, i;ve dropped 5K in 3 months. Im out of money now. Now its time to just enjoy driving it. Thanks guys for your inputs! |
