RE: MPG for the big tire big lift guys!!!!
About 13.8 normal combination driving. Trips to the Ga. farm I co-own with two other guys (about 300 miles each way) I getupper 15's to low 16'sif I can keep it at no more than 75 on the interstates.
I have a heavy truck with a lot of mods and 35" tires, but I feel my CAI, LT Headers, exhaust, etc.help me get close to the mileage of a stock non-mds Hemi 4x4...

RE: MPG for the big tire big lift guys!!!!
So, in summary,
a stock Ram 4x4 V8 will get 19 or better at 70 mph
and with the big suspension lift and hard to roll mudder tires
this drops to the
13-16 MPG range
But with that big lift & tires
boys under age 13 will say 'cool' as you pass
and men over age 21
who have drug & winched core drills up muddy Kentucky mountain roads will say:
"Poseur"

Flaming someone for the way they like to build their ride is totally uncalled for. This was a simple discussion between a couple of guys talking about their package combinations.
Personally,
My ride is virtually stock, but, if I ever get all my kids' college debt paid off, A nice set of 33's with a set of MT's (or the like) would be great.

I think it looks 'cool' if that's what they want. And really getting around 15 mpg for a big lifted truck ain't bad.Can we see your Dodge? Do you have a camera? I read some of your mpg thread and would like to see it.
