What kind of fuel mileage are you guys getting with a 6in lift on 35in mudd terrains? I have an LMM with intake, exhaust, programmer and I've been thinking about doing a 6in lift on 35's but worried about the fuel economy since this is my daily driver.

Newbie here

After looking FOREVER, I finally found the right truck. I found a good deal on an 08' GMC Sierra Crew Cab SLE 2500HD Duramax. Still have my 96 Dodge 3500 dually 4x4 cummins, but dont think it will get used much now!

I will probably have lots of questions much like I did with my Dodge.

Thanks in advance!!

Tony

lots of nice looking trucks guys!

got a question,i noticed alot of you all running 6" lifts and only 35" tires! may i ask whats up with that why not run a 37" tire? the reason i ask is if done properly you can fairly easily clear 35's with a small suspension lift!

with the correct OS on the wheels i'm perty sure you can clear 37's..i have cleared 37's on the 2500 and 3500 Dodges with nuthin but a leveling kit and aftermarket wheels just need the correct OS on the wheels!
