Screw 4x4 5.0. If you are PLEASE tell me your AVG mpg. Thanks!

How close to stock are you talking about? That's what's going to effect the mileage. The level may drop you like 1/4 mpg, not a noticeable amount at all.

I'm running a 2" level with stock 275/55-20's... About 1 mpg drop on the highway... Thinking about a 1" block in back to get some rack back...

So what does your "avg mpg" read?

You'll want a 3" block. You already have a 1 1/4" block.

Highway driving at 70-75 mph averages around 16mpg, was easily 17mpg before the level...

Around town is horrible... 13.5mpg... But nothing to do with the level

Haha, yes, I meant add a block to get another inch in the rear... and I guess it would be to add rake and not rack... LOL.

Lmao! Nothing wrong with getting a little rack! I didn't even catch that... Meh, who has time for proof reading anyways.

Does your truck not show an "avg mpg"? After driving for a couple days in town and highway. This is the number I'm interested in lowering as mine is between 13.1 and 13.5 AVG!

Ouch!! What size tires are you running?


I run 295/60/20 (34.45") Trail Grapplers w/2" level on my Ecoboost and am pretty pleased with my mileage considering the mods.

That's about where my average mileage falls... 13.4 to 13.7. This is some highway but mostly short trips as my commute to work is only 10 miles round trip.

Yes and no, around here it's more like in town driving. Not as much traffic so shorter stops at red lights. I describe my driving as 50/50 driving. 50% in town/50% highway/50% driving conservatively/50% flogging the crap out of it. I did see a slight increase in MPGs after I got my truck tuned last year.

I'll take the loss and keep my big mud terrains.

This is from a few road trips that I made that were about 75% highway/25% city.

Not bad at all! When i start my mods im going with the level and a little bit bigger tires.. This makes me feel better cause most of my driving right now is 70 percent highway 30 percent city..

Okay, I just went on a trip. This was my Hwy avg (70-75).



And my avg mpg over the last 3 weeks.
