Default Leveling kit and tires

I have a 2007 F-150 Lariat with the 5.4 in it and am considering putting on some Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks and Toyo AT 275/65/20 with the factory 20's that are on it. I was just wondering if anyone knew what it would do my gas mileage? I am getting about 14-15 around town and 17 or so on the highway currently. Anything else I should know about? or other tire size suggestion? Thanks for any input.

4wd right? Check out the sticky at the top of the 04-08 forum for tire info. You can go to 35s and 305s or so.

You may take a 1 mpg hit or so, wish I got the same gas mileage as you, time for a tune up.

BTW, welcome to the site, and Go Gators
