I was getting 20-21 prior to 2.5 leveling kit and 265/70/17 tires. Now getting 19.5 with out a speedo adjustment.

I have seen no difference before and after installing ford performance shocks/ level. Average about 20-21. Have not installed larger tires yet, which would certainly reduce mpg.

There's a price for for every level of stance...leveling hits aero pushing more air under the truck...bigger tires adds mechanical drag...wider track increases frontal area = more drag...then add additional gear weight...oof....with everything mentioned, 72mph gives me at most 18.5mpg...strangely enough, at lower speeds like 50-60, I can see slightly more than 19mpg...
