Should be the same as all rams with the 20" wheel option. Those tires are 32 1/2" So your looking 15-17 hwy and 12-14 town

Probably a mile or two per gallon.

Do you tow? If you tow a lot, keep the 33's or regear with the 35's.

Your really not going to notice much of a difference that is going to really make a differencewith 33's. What gears are in your truck?

Once you start going to 35's or bigger you'll notice a big difference. But, when you start getting into the bigger tires, you'll want to regear which will give you some of your mpg and power back.
