Just part of owning a truck man.. Mines pretty much stock aside from Gotts mod, dynomax bullet exhaust, and 285/60/R18 Tires.. Right now I get about 15.5 MPG but before Gotts and exhaust I was averaging 14.. I imagine with a lift and big tires id drop 3-5 MPG

Gears would be about the only thing that would help

You already know the problem.

You spent alot of money,to get bad gas mileage. Nothing you buy will give you "good" mileage. That's just the way it goes.
