best mileage has been 19.0 if your concerned about mileage, look for a light weight wheel that is strong and a tire that is less than 65 lbs... my wheel tire setup = 105 lbs each corner and I'm sure that is not helping mileage. if it were a lighter setup, throttle response would be better and so would mileage.

Alright thanks guys, never thought about the wheel and tire weights...good call
steve if you gotta pic of your truck from the side I'd like to see it so I can check out the stance...I'm stuck between a 2" level or a 4.5" lift...I just wanna run some 35/12.50s so I can get a better footprint in the sand....trucks like to sink to the frame and when you got the bigger truck of the bunch it gets hard to find someone to pull ya out...lol
P.S. my driveway is sand at the momment...don't ask

the red truck in the pics has 35's on it, Kore leveling kit... Chase series IIRC so you can do the research to see how much lift he has. If your going to take your truck off road, consider the lift or suspension kit your putting together. I've seen lifts where the axle is not centered right and the installing shops try to fix wandering problems thru alignment, they end up with more problems down the road.
Since I've recentered my axle with a thurenfab bar and added the fox steering stabilizer, my truck tracks really straight, tire wear has gone down significantly (my alignment with the tracbar install). If you dont expect to go off road and need good flex along the way, then 4.5 may be right for you, just take a good look at the kit before you commit to it.
also, keep in mind that my rear is only up about 1/2" if that... when I installed the lorenz leaf packs I had the option of removing spacers that were in the origninal pack, there were 3 of them, I took out 1 and got approx 3/8~1/2" of lift. the front went from a 2" spacer to 2.5" of lift.

Unless someone has a formula to figure it out, I'm screwed till I can get the speedo recalibrated.
