Lots of trucks here with a 6" lift. Most report 3-4 mpg loss depending on tire size.

seems about right .. i usually got about 15 on average, and now get about 12-13 after the lift

i have 6 inch pro comp with 35's

i think with a 3inch you would still go 33's or 35's .. so im not sure if the gas mileage will be much better


also, like i stated in a previous post, did you buy your truck for good gas mileage? go with what looks best

6 inch or 3 inch?

OK, I just asked all the women around me within shouting distance and they all prefer a 6 inch, for what it's worth.
