Thank you! The QuickLift is just a leveled strut assembly in the front. After resetting the MPGs on my way home this weekend I did lose a few. I was averaging about 18.5 highway going 80 the whole way, now I'm at 15.7. The front sits at 38.75" and the back is at 39.25"

I haven't put my lift on yet but after adding my tires and running canned tunes with correct revolutions my MPG actually went up. I was getting 15/16 city and 19/20 highway and now I am getting 17/18 city and 21/22 highway. Specs in sig, and no issues with 275/70R18 on 18x9.

that is actually kind of promising to hear. although I will say you are the first I have heard who has had that result.

I have not yet but i'm taking it in later this week. I probably should've mentioned that too. From what i've read i think it's over by around 3mph. I did take this into account while driving home though, I had my speed set on 77 so I figured I was going around 80. I wonder if correcting it will show a difference in MPG since I was going around the same speed.

Yeah it surprised me for sure. Once I refill up I am going to do the math and see if it is the same or off from the reading. I used the revs from Kelly's spec sheet but my speedo was still off compared to a gps speedo app on my phone. I had to raise it from 630 to 655 and it is dead on.

I called the Ford dealer this morning they wanted $125 to correct the speedo. I'm trying to decide if it's worth that much or if I should just get used to reading the speedo 3 off.
