Just thought I would post....... I was pretty happy! The only changes I have made were a K&N air filter and my tires are at 40 psi. I cleaned my IAC, MAF and my throttle body last week. I'm running full synthetic oil as well. I plan on taking off my roof rack and lowering the Mounty in the near future. I will keep you posted. :salute:
 






I'd be proud of that too:chug:
 






If I could do that everyday I would want one for a dailey driver :)
 






I was easily hitting 22mpg in mine before the addtion of the lift and m/t's, the secret drive the speed limit or sometimes under never going over 65mph and staying under 2000rpm. Most of the time when I achieved that was driving on I-70 through KS which is pretty flat as well which probably boosted the mileage some. Even with the 31's 18mpg on the highway is still possible for me.
