Slow down. Remove lift kit. Smaller tires.

get maintenance current
Hard to say if the truck is generally stock. Maybe get maintenance current. Clean injectors and check O2 sensors.
I have 4.56 gears, a tune and 20" wheels and still average 16 mpg mixed. I won't dip below 10mpg unless towing while running E-85
