gears and an edge evolution programmer, you have 6" of lift and 35s.. your gas mileage isn't going to be good

I'm assuming you have the stock 3.55 rear, which engine 4.6 or 5.4??

Gears with the 35's are going to help more than anything, other than that get used to it, these things didn't exactly sip gas when stock!

If you are concerned about gas maileage should you really be driving a V8 truck? I hear the Toyota Prius does good fuel economy.....
