Thanks city is 13 and highway is 14. Think gears would help bring mileage up back to stock if I did 3.73 or 4.10

Do you remember what mileage you were getting when it was stock? I'm itching for my first lifted vehicle but considering that I go 50k miles a year I am really concerned with ride quality and mileage. I have a silver 2011 Denali on the new Escalade 22s and while it is awesome, I find myself looking towards the 6.7 Diesel F-250 Crewcabs. If I could lift my Denali and throw on some off road wheels without loosing to much mileage I can see myself holding on to this truck at least another 5 years!

I think I was getting 15 and 17. So about 2 mpg drop. Like I said if I did gears front and rear for the awd I think it would pick back up 1-2 mpg.

If I were you with esky 22s I would keep them and get the FTS 7" then put some toyo R/T 35s on them and wheel spacers. It would actually look really good!

I didn't notice much more than a 1-2mpg drop when I put my 2010 Silverado on 35's (with 3.08 gears). It doesn't drop much, and since you have the 6 speed it helps tremendously.

I should probably mention mine is also a hybrid! I know, it will look odd having a lifted hybrid but it's cheaper than buying a new truck!
