Default Gas Mileage?

Hey guys I'm new to Ford and also new to this site! I just bought an 06 f150 crewcab, 5.4l, 4wd, with 35's and a 2.5" leveling kit. It has dual exhaust. I was just wondering for the people who have this set up, what is your mpg's? Also, what have you done to make it better? I already read the forum but want your guys' reviews and comments. Thank you!

I have the exact same mods. I get about 11 mpg. Nothing is going to get you better mileage.

That's what I figured.. Besides getting a chip. Kind of relevant question, what PSI should be 35's be at? They're at 40 psi right now. Any more?

There are several things that will yield him better MPG... A CAI and tunner with a good tune... change gear's or even run 33's vice 35's.
