Hey guys, I have finally decided to add a lift to my 06 1500 4x4 but I am having trouble coming to a compromise on looks and the best possible mpg's. i would ideally like to go with a 6in rough country lift with 35in tires on 18in rims but since my truck only have a 3.55 differential I have already lost 2-3 mpg just going from 31.5in to 33in tires and I don't know if I can afford the loss in mpg that it would take to go with 35's.

I am currently leaning toward a 4in lift with 33's but I can't find pics of lifted 06-08 trucks with anything less than 6in lifts with 35's. If anyone can find me some pics I would appreciate it.

for those of you with 6in lifts running 35's what kind of realistic mpg's do you get. please indicate if you have a 3.55 or 3.92 diff.

I am trying to make my decision by the end of the week so any help ASAP would be appreciated. PLEASE POST PICS thanks

 

I'm only 2WD but I have a 6" lift with 34s and 3.92s and I see about 17-18 highway and about 8-9 city. For a 4x4 I would take off about 1 mpg. I also have a tuner and CAI

 

33's would look to small with a 4 inch lift or even a 6inch lift. If you wanna keep 33's id just level it. Ive got 35's nitto trail grappler with 3.92's with a k&n cai and flowmaster exhaust and i get 10.5-11 in town and like 13-14 on the highway. I think next time Im gonna try a 325 60 20 AT instead of a MT and see if that helps with my mpg

 

here is what my truck looked like before my tires went bald and i had to put my stock 17 rims with 265/70 r17's back on. i currently do have a leveling kit.
