Ranger 2.3L 4x4 Owners Poll - Lift/Level MPG Changes

[daytoncarter]

I'm going to try to keep this simple, if you raised your truck at all, front or rear, and kept track, how much has the MPG changed?

Here's a nifty diagram:

The lift didn't do that much to my mileage. The bigger tires added a mile or 2 tho.

mine is 2wd with a 2.5 level on the front and stock tires. no change in gas mileage.


no matter the lift though, if your tires and stuff are the same size, gas mileage won't change. weight and rolling or air resistance change gas mileage. you would have to put a bunch of brush guard related stuff on, or add weight to get that change. heavier tires that are taller and or wider will for sure lower gas mileage.


what gets lots of people is they add larger tires and forget to compensate for them when figuring the gas mileage out.
