With stock gears - quite a few. Plus your drivetrain (especially your trans) will be stressed more (not a good thing). With the right gears though, even 35's can be run with not that bad of mileage. Big tires have a great deal more rolling resistance, weigh more, and a lifted truck isn't exactly aerodynamic, so you will probably always lose some mpg's with a lift and 35's. But gears go a long long way to make it much more tolerable from both a performance standpoint, equipment longevity standpoint, and mpg standpoint.

For 40's, you will want 5.13's. Since you have a 2500, you probably have D60's, so you can go there.

I'd go steeper than that with 40's personally, I like the power lol. 5.38's would be better.
