Default Current MPG with 35"s and what gearing?

Im currently running 35's with a 6" lift and while I didn't buy the truck for the MPG I figured it would average better than 11 lol. Wondering what MPG anyone else with 35's is getting. I also have 3:55's and im going to re-gear in the future but not sure what I should go with. 4:10 or 4:56. Anyone running that setup and what kind of MPG are you getting? I also tow a lot during the summer but at the same time spend quite a bit of time on the highway. What do you guys think?

OP did you have your ecu recalibrated for the new tire size? If not your speedo will read slow and show lower than actual mpg.

6 inch lift with 3.73 averaging 14.5....would be better if I didn't drive in D.C. traffic everday, which is either a parking lot or a drag race.

I have yet to reprogram it. Good to know though, but as far as a re gear I kind of want the 4:56's but the only thing making me not want them is would they be bad on the highway? Or would that make it more like a stock truck with 3:73's?

If you haven't adjusted your computer the mpgs your truck is giving you is way off.

They won't be that bad. If your concerned about highway mileage avoid the larger tires. The more aggressive the tread the less mpgs also. I'm running 35 swamp boggers with a 3.73 gears and average 14.4 on the highway.

Honestly I think raising the gears will either hurt your gas millage or change nothing at all. Our trannys have very short gears to begin with... previous generations were a different story. I have 35s and I would tell you my gas millage is 15 going 70 and 18 going 55 but I have yet to reset my speedometer.
