The link works now. What size tires are you running with your lift? If you are running bigger tires with those big rims, that will hurt your mpg. It also looks like you are carrying a lot of heavy components in your truck which also hurts mpg.

The weight was something I was thinking too but the heaviest add-on is the grill and winch. We all know the FoxBox weighs nothing at all. The lift I havent put on yet. Rims are 22s with that I thought was 31.7'' tires but my speedo is off my about 3mph when compared against my GPS so maybe a 32''-33'' tire???? But in reality, my truck got the same 12mpg in town when it was stock and has nothing added to it. I did pick up a little better MPG when I started finding and using 100% gas and none of that Ethanol crap.

Have you done a recent tune up? That usually helps with the mpg's if it has been a while since the last tune up.
