How much does a suspension kit hurt fuel economy?
OK, I have a fourdoor 2005 F150 FX4 and I wonder just how bad a lift kit and oversized tires would result in fuel consumption. I thought 6-inch lift with 36 “Super Swamper tires.

Yes, it will certainly affect your fuel economy, many things. It takes more energy to run much bigger tires harder. To divert the truck will be much help, but it will still hurt.
36 switch with a 6 “LIFT probably eat up your mileage account alive
The lift is not really change fuel economy as much as it does not really change the dynamics of the vehicle. Maybe a little more than drive the loss, because you will change the angle of the shaft and Componants autre.La actual losses will be at the cost of the tires. If you become wider and bigger lose your fuel economy, because it will generate more tire friction (traction) on the road. Your vehicle will also be losing some of its acceleration, as has the entire diameter of the tire changing the spreading of the vehicle (think 3. 73 gears instead 4. 10′s) you get a lot more noise, road management as well as different, and if some of the steering / suspension components as well. Good luck and realize that there victims in gas mileage with Moses ‘performance’ modifications.
