I really want to add a 6 inch lift with 35's on my 06 1500 Hemi with 3.92 rear. Can anyone that did a lift on this truck tell me what kind of milage you are actually getting. Right now I am about 13-14 mpg. I know it will be a bit worse but how much worse?

I have the exact truck you have except it is an 8 foot bed.
2006 Dodge Ram SLT 4x4 Quad Cab 8 foot bed.3.92 gears.

I bought the truck used with 40k, I put one tank of gas through it with stock 31 tires. I got 15 mpg or so I calculated using the stock settings, so if there was any error in the odometer, that would not have shown.

I put on a Pro Comp Stage 2 6 inch Lift K2062BMX with MX2.75c Front Coil overs and MX6 rear shocks with blocks. $2100 I was told that 17" tires would not fit right so I put on Pro Comp 1079-8985 18x9 5x5.5 4.75" Back spacing wheels $350 and Pro Comp 305/70R18 Xtreme Mud Terrain 35" tires $1225. I also put a Cortex chip on it.
The Gas mileage after checking it against GPS for correct adjust is around 12 - 12.5 mpg with city/highway/off-road combined.

I do not know how accurate my first tank was but I lost around 2.5 - 3 mpg with the lift and tires. Hope that helps.

I was considering going to 4.56 gears to see if that improves the mileage. It certainly will give it better get-up-and-go but I am not expecting great results on gas mileage. Plus the cost certainly will never be saved with even a small increase in mileage.
Should have bought the diesel. It would have gotten much better, but

I have an '05 QC with 40k on the odo. It has a 6" Fabtec lift and 315/70/17 Explorer Pro Comp Xtreem Mud Terrain tires. Custom catbacks, Superchips 91 oct, and a K&N CAI.

Getting 13-14 mpg consistantly doing 60/40 highway/city driving.

Oh, and I'm fairly heavy with the go-pedal running 75 mph on the highway and teaching import truck drivers the value of buying American at each stop light.

Yes aint that sweet. Was stuck with my brother in Bend and he has a chebby...what can I say he still is my brother with no taste in trucks

While I was there went to Klamath Falls to see his property in Bonaza on top of a mountain.

I have a buddy that lives in Bonanza. He commonly refers to it as God's Country.

what be gear ratio? only way i get 17mpg on highway with hers is at 60mph or less
running stock tires.

oh yeah nice ride, i like the wheels.

that is correct 60mph or less. 3.92 gear ratio. 4.56 in the near future
