3" with 35's ride fine. I get about 15 mpg after correction for the tires. Highway power is somewhat lacking with 4.10 gears, but it will run 70 mph with cruise control on, so it's not that bad. Good luck.

It really won't matter how good you make the milage, you'll just end up using more gas anyhow because you wont be able to stop driving it.
