Well i was getting 18-19 now im getting 15-16 so not terrible. basically nothing i didn't expect, I want to get a tuner eventually, i feel like that would help. but as for the how does it ride i think it rides better than it did stock. I also have the 5.0 and not the ecoboost. I also have a banks monster exhaust and i think that made me loose some mpg.

So your speedomoter is off, your odomoter is off, and your MPG is off.
When I went to 35s on my truck, the difference was around 10%
Therefore, instead of getting 15-16mpg now, You're really getting 16.5-17.6 mpg.
Doesn't sound so bad now, does it?
When I'm on the highway, or anywhere cops might be, I use an app on my phone that tells me how fast I am going based on the GPS signals. You might want to do that also to inadvertent prevent speeding tickets.

Remember, your whole computer system is now off by the difference between your stock tire circumference and your new tire circumference.

I think I've heard the dealership or a tuner can do it. That is a very nice truck tho!
