MPG?

What's a bone stock 6.0 with 6" or 4" lift on 35's running for mileage?

Mine when it was bone stock 48,000 miles only got 8.5 mpg around town 4.10 gears.
With what i,ve done I',m up to about 13.5 around town.
Don't know what it would get bone stock on the highway prob not much , 11 mpg maybe with 4.10 gears

im getting on average 11-14 mpg with a 6" and 35's and the rest stock. Sometimes i may push 15 on the highway. could be worse could be better. just plan for a nice humming sound running down the road. To me it was worth it. It gives it a nice look.

With the mixed driving I do, I'd probably go with 4.56 gears. Last truck on 35's had them and I was happy with it's power.

Dunno then. My last rig was an F150 with the 4.6 and it ran close to stock with the 4.56's.

No lift.... Stock to 285/75/r16 I got about the same. 13-14 in town on summer fuel. 16-18 if I kept it 65 or less on the road. With the tires in the siggy on summer fuel 12-14 and 16.5 is my best on the hwy driving about 70 which is the same rpms I was stock tires at 65. The last 3 tanks I've dipped down to 11 in the city but I'm guessing winter fuel has something to do with that. I don't have a lift and I hand calculate my tanks. I also fill to the spout and use 2 stroke oil.
