depending on how much you lift it i think 20 and 22 both look good with 4,6, or 8 inch lifts

well some might be there are certain things you can do to make up for that and possibly get them back.look for some guys with lift kits and ask them what theyre mileage is and how or what theyve modified there truck to get them that mileage

i have had both kinda truck....20's and low pros....lifted on 33's and 35's....i personally think the best of both worlds is to have both...that's why i am selling my truck, he he so that i can have both soon...but to the point, my trucks an 07, 4" rancho lift, 35x12.50 Mud grappler (heavy tire for its size) 20x10 rims, edge tuner, no muffler, rest of the truck is 100% stock, running 3.55 gears and on the highway, i constantly see 17 mpgs...no BS...i took a trip for work 4 hrs one way...all highway and interstate, when i got there...my edge read 18.2, cruise set at 60/70 front windows down, i get just as good as gas with mine lifted as my father in law does with his stock 04....not being an idiot and smart driving is key to good mileage, now my gearing is not optimal for towing, but when i click off the o/d i'm close to 2000 rpm at 60, plent of power for what i pull....
