None to little loss of mpg with just the level. Added 295/70/17 terra grapplers lost about 3 mpg then change gears from 3.55 to 4.10 gears and got 1 mpg back(5.0).

had a spacer for 35k miles, then went to bilsteins for the last 30k miles (@70k now). replaced upper control arms @60k because balljoints were shot and couldn't keep front end aligned. Other than the horrible ride of the bilsteins, the balljoints have been my only issue. 99.9% street miles btw.

I'm sure you've seen plenty of my posts in other threads, but I have had my RC spacers on for 20k miles, looking to replace them with Boss coilovers for a better ride (and look) as soon as I finish my house shopping.

I had a 2 inch level for the first 28000 miles on my 2010 4x4 with 295/70/18 tires. Just put on the Boss Ultimate kit what a difference! During installation I found the rattle in my front end... bad upper ball joints. have put about a 1000 miles on it... rides great a lot better now, even my wife thinks it rides better.
