wow that is some crazy gas mileage I have a 01 dodge 1500 4x4 with 37's and I get 11 miles. But it will probably go down to 10.4 and even 1 more down just depending on how you drive. You should think about putting a chip in it. Thats what I got. U can get more power and a little better gas mileage.

Tough for me to compare with my truck since I have so many other mods that help with power and mpgs. I am getting about the same fuel economy around town and only about 1-1.5 worse on interstates at close to 7000 lbs. and with 35" tires as I got bone stock.
I guess a better comparison would be my Grand Cherokee with the 4.7 HO engine. I got about 20 mpgs in combo driving and could just nip 25 mpgs on trips if the terrain wasn't too hilly and I kept it under 75.
A 2" level kit, 2.5" larger diameter tires that were a good bit more aggressive and I'm down to about 17 mpgs in combo driving and around 21 on trips.
There is a lot more than just the tire size. What kinda tread is a big factor as is the actual lift itself. There is a reason these trucks come out of the factory with a big front end rake...
