170 views... no body wants to start? I should have my level and tires within a month and I'll add info....
I see hundreds of posts saying tires look great... how many mpg did ya lose?
thought it would be nice to have a reference in the forum... certainly have 100's of leveled trucks on board

2016 F150 2.7, 4700 miles
1.5" MotoFab front level
20x9.5 Vision Wheels
33" BFG KO2 (275/60/20)

Lifetime average: 19.5 MPG
Best MPG: 24.4 MPG after a 75 mile trip w/average speed of 60 MPH.

I wish I had found a 1" level, as that would have been perfect in my opinion

2015 3.5eco 3.31 screw 4x4 fx4 lariat with canopy
17.1 mpg average over 10k miles
Leveling didn't change mpg, taking off the lower valence didn't change mpg. But when I went to 33.6x11.2 with 17x9 fuel wheels my first fill up so far was 15.1mpg

2.7L with average of 23.4mpg with stock 32.1" tires and 3.73 gears. Thinking about going to 33.4" tires.
For all the experts out there:
Would I even lose mpg or maybe stay the same with bigger tires? I have heard that 3.73 don't get as good of gas mileage as 3.31's. Wouldn't bigger tires make the 3.73's act more like 3.31's??

Unfortunately not, I didn't wait long enough to get out of the break in period.. I was averaging about 19-20 MPG all around before the level/tires, and my MPG continued going up after installing them.
