gas mileage hit?

[ran]

I am considering a small front lift and 255/75/17 GYSA. Any lift is a small hit to gas mileage? Still doing 1000 mile monthly trips. thanks

So what I mean is, will a front lift/level out, result in lower MPG? thanks

So just like a 1" lift? You have a 4th Gen?

I wouldn't expect to see a loss of more than 0.5 MPG from a lift from 1-2". You probably wouldn't even see that much.

You start to see a bigger loss when you upsize tires.

Mpg's shouldn't change due to lift, and they don't go up when you lower a car. Tire size is key.

I didn't notice that my MPG drop, but by simple physics it should.
A 1"-2" leveling is not so noticeable. Rolling resistance and weight when you upsize tires will significantly affect mileage.

ran,
Good that you are considering a spacer lift in the front?
I don't like to see the rake in my 4R before. ha! ha!
