Nice looking truck. Love the color. My last Ram was a 99 in that color.

You can offset a lot of the mpg losses with mods (if the pockets are deep enough). I'm up four inches (which the loss of aerodynamics alone kills mpg's) 35's and a ton of extra weight (the sub-frame that an IFS front requires in a suspension lift alone is heavy as hell) winch, guards, etc.and I'm about where I was stock in-town and about one mpg less on the interstate.
Intake (if you don't have already), CAI and tuner is a good place to start. Gears really help with the big meats, but I really got the biggest chunk of it back with the LT Headers. After adding that to the intake, tuner & exhaust, my mpg's went up a solid 1.5-2 mpg right there.
Currently getting between 13.5 and 14 in combo (mostly in-town) driving and about 16-16.5 on the interstate (cruise on about 78). Stock I was like 14 and 17.5 ('04 so it's non-MDS).
Plus, all those mods make nice HP & Torque gains to boot...

bighornblue - did you have to get wheel spacers with those rockstars? KMC told me that the rockstars only come in a 0offset and the truck needs a -12 offset to clear bigger tires??? Don't really understand b/c I see alot of guys with the rockstars on lifted trucks with bigger tires.
