I am getting a 3" lift for my truck with new tires 31-10.50-15 adding the two together am I correct to expect about 5-6 total inches in lift? Running 225-70-15 now. How much mpg should I expect to drop? Hooligan can you help on this.

this is with a 3" BL and 235/75/15 i have the 2.5L and i get around 17-19 given how well i keep my foot outta it... lol i would say conservative guess would be 14-16 mpg after you step up in tire size....
You won't see much of a drop in gas mileage with only 31s. I get an average of 16 mpg with 31" mud tires. You'll get a few more if you're not running mud tires.
Yeah, so? Tires still won't affect mileage. Now if he jumped to 33s, then yeah. He'd have a noticeable drop.
no he may lose up to 4. what gear do you have in the rearend if you know if not post up the axle code found on the sticker and we will try to find out what gear you have....
you shouldnt see much of a drop in mpg with 31's... but with the 2.3 i wouldnt go any bigger than 31's if you do you will see a definate loss in hp b/c of the tires...
yeah no bigger unless i change the motor what about converting to 4x4 is it worth it, i know its a lot of work.
Not sure if it's a good price or not ask member brinker88 hes the guru of sas. He knows alot more about what it costs than I do.
You live in florida why bother getting 4x4 to be honest I think spending 5k on something i dont need would be ridiculous, but if you want it by all means do it and best of luck but I wouldnt thats just me
