Performance with 32s

[HarryChest]

Just curious as to what kind of gas mileage I could expect with just a 3" BL and 32x11.5s on 15x8 767s?

 

Right now I'm running 33s and actually getting around 16-17 mpg which I can't complain about with stock gears. On the highway, on hot days, sometimes its difficult to hold a constant speed, and the truck will downshift into 3rd a lot. At night this hardly happens though, which makes me think with 32s I could probably hold constant speeds easier on the highway. I would also be taking my SL off to save my front end parts and decrease wind resistance. I'm just trying to decide if its worth it.

I think you need to make up your mind about whether you want to drive a 4-wheeler or a road car. If you lift it and run bigger tires, you have to expect poor mileage and tougher hill climbs. 16-17 with 33's is fantastic mileage for a Pathy.

pssd I only get 15 mpg city with 31's.

yeah 31 in at's 14-15mpg city 20 highway is best so far. and 33's travel farther then the odo reads so in theory your prolly netting 20+mpg which doesnt sound right.....
