Since I am thinking about the teraflex 2.5 in lift and 35's I am just doing some research. What are you getting with a 2.5 inch lift and 35's. Please state what you got stock vs after mods. Please post what tires and gears. I am really interested in the 4.10 gears with a superchip programmer. I get about 18 avg according to the dash bone stock. BTW I have an unlimited. Just wondering what kind of a hit I can expect.

Lost about 1.5 mpg (17 to 15.5) on my Unlimited automatic Rubi from stock to 2.5" TFBB with Firestone 315/70 R17 (34.5" X 12.5") this is after correction for computer reading (you get 6% difference on the reading of the odometer).

I have heard repeatedly that the dash computer is incorrect when it concerns the mileage. It is almost says you are doing better then you are.

You can expect to lose 2-3 mpg.
