Gas mileage after lift...
I know I have seen this talked about many times on the forum, but I have never really paid attention to it when i had the chance and now that I need to know I can't find it, of course...
This saturday is the big day, the tires/wheels and lift get put on.. Just wondering what is a good expectation for mileage when it's all said and done. I am sticking to the same gears for now unfortunately, tires are 35" and it is a 4" lift.. I know I am going to cry the first time I drive it and find out what horrible mileage I am getting, but I just want to prepare myself for this bitter moment that is upon me

I have the Teraflex 3" lift on my 4 door Rubicon and I still get 19\20 on the freeway AND 17\18 IN TOWN. I also have a Unichip and run 87, XDI intake and the Gibson dual outlet exhaust. I put all 3 engine mods on at the same time.

You might want to get a K&N replacement air filter. I was getting 13.6 mpg after air filter swap 14.4 mpg, but I really don't make any long trips or drive very much. Only to work and back home, about 12 miles round trip.
