I'm getting right at 18 MPG with the 35s I have. I calibrated my speedo with FORScan. Maybe that's something you can look into.

Are you running any kind of tune or program?

Any update on the mpg? I have a 2017 2.7l and just got 275/65r20 Ridge Grapplers and now I'm about to get 35's. Just curious how the 2.7l handles the 6" lift and 35" tires! Thanks!

Have yet to have the BDX set the speedo... still waiting. I will say this, i am seeing anywhere from ~19-21ish on Highway, and even higher on the city? ( if that's even possible??!?!) That's why I am thinking I need to get this thing calibrated because the whole thing is out of whack... I'm getting better in the city than I am on the high way. Only rolling with the flow of traffic... about 67-72MPH...

Thoroughly impressed.

Some pics from the ride this past weekend. 120 miles round-trip on the ATV from Idaho City to Atlanta, ID.... about a 4,000' elevation change.

Totally missed this and I apologize. It is definitely different from the stock, however, when you're going to fast in the desert it absolutely eats that S*** up. I got the extra lifted strut upgrade in the rear. keeps the roll to a minimal while turning.

Much smoother ride than my 2017 Ram 2500. Day and Night difference, and i absolutely love the way it drives.

Did install the Deezee EZ lift Tail Gate assist since it came stock on my last truck. Love the thing.
