if i get it, would taking off the body lift and downgrading tires help??

not so sure the body lift would help that much, but the tires YEAH! It takes alot to get them puppies rollin

screw the gas MPG, what you need to worry about is those big ass 44" super swampers.... that is a independant front suspension truck with 14"s of suspension lift! i guarantee that thing goes through tie rod ends, ball joints front hub/bearing assemly's like every 2500-3500 miles, also vertually impossible to align and those tires run about $400.00 per!

im running a 10" whiplash on mine with 37's and trying to keep mine together is damn near impossible. i've gone through balljoints, tie rods,idler and pitman arms, and who knows how many hub and bearing assembly's i ve gone through.

if you want to lift a newer chevy or gmc and run bigger tires than 35's you need to rip all the ifs shit out and convert to a solid axle. i plan on doing this hopefully soon.

That's definitely not going to get you the best gas mileage, but it looks like it would be awesome to drive! My 99 yukon w/ 31 inch (I know, almost stock) was getting 16mpg city, and 22-23 on the highway after k&n filter and changing to synthetic. With all those mods 15mpg would have to be on the highway I'd think.
