first dont put gas in, but seriosly. get rid of the edge and get a custom tuned chip like php, tw or others. that would help alot.

Shut down your truck at the pump...

The lift and large wheels do not help with gas mileage at all. If you want the cool look, you just have to pay the price.

Best thing to do for optimum gas mileage is to keep it running no higher than 2,000 rpm, minimize braking and minimize weight as much as possible. In short it is driving habit.

Huge air filter and output, synthetic oil/filter have not done much to improve my truck's mileage.

First off... what kind of mileage are you getting now?? Whatever your at may be all your gonna get. Secondly, I agree with anyone who says, "If you want good mileage, buy a car not a 6000+lb truck."

again.. WHO IN THE RIGHT might buys a truck as big as yours and expects fuel mileage. you have to be crazy. if your gettin 10 on the highway your god damn lucky..

You want fuel mileage..loose the lift..loose the tires..go back to stock.. YOU STILL will not have good fuel mileage with a 4-6" life with 35's..get a leveling kit throw on 35's..youll get 14mpg

Hell i WORK for toyota..come up i can get you a nice deal on a prius
