Hey I'm looking at buying a new 08 2500HD with a D-Max with a 6 in fabtech lift with BF Goodrich LT285/65R20 tires but I was wondering how much my mileage will be affected by the changes. I'll be using this truck for mostly highway driving with little to no towing. Anyone with the same set up?

Um 285/65/20 seem a little narrow but anyways. I think you will loose a couple mpg

Thats what the truck comes with the RMT Offroad conversion. I'm hoping that I can go with 35's.
