Question

How much does a lift kit effect gas mialage?

Answer 1

LIFT KIT WITHOUT LARGER TIRES, 1 TO 2 MPG LOSS.

LIFT KIT WITH LARGER TIRES LIKE 35 INCH,  6 TO 7 MPG LOSS.

IT WILL DEPEND ON A LOT OF FACTORS, HEIGHT, TIRE SIZE, GEARS AND EXTRAS.

Answer 2

Lift kit drops it a little because of the  work neccessary to move your vehicle.  You went from tires weighing 35lbs each to tires weighing close to 100lbs each.  This should not discourage you from getting a lift.  Looking like a badass in your truck is the California way.

Answer 3

I would say a lift kit would allow your rig to catch MORE air, reducing MPG somewhat, but the bigger, fatter, heavier TIRES are what will drag your Gas economy down the most.  Can't give an exact number, but I would say 5-8MPG loss probably.

Answer 4

Depends on its weight and on your car.

Answer 5

You shouldn't see much of a difference in your mileage.  What weight you add will probably be offset by the smoother flow of air around your vehicle.
