Sorry, that was with the 4 speed. After the swap, I'm getting 13+ with the trailer and not sure without because I don't drive it much without the trailer. I would estimate at least 17-18+.

does a lift and tires effect the miles?

Yes, with the lift you have increased wind drag. The tires increase rolling resistance and if you don't change gearing the engine works harder to turn the tires.

the BEST I've gotten was 21mpg...going about 55 for about 1.5-2 hours. (following a school bus) but usually I get 13-16 mpg.

Yeah I had a set of 4.56's installed about 8 months after the lift was completed. Big difference as far as regaining lost power.
