Ecoboost lift and tires

Anyone have any info on how the ecoboost is responding to lift and big tires? I want to put 33's and at least a 4inch lift on my truck, just concerned that my milage might drop like a rock i dont know what they are doing when their loaded up

I have a 2" leveling kit (in front, nothing in the rear) and I'm running 295/60/20 (34") Nitto Trail Grapplers.I lost about 1.5 mpgs. I would guess with a 4" lift raising the truck even higher you'd probably lose a bit more mpgs.Finding lighter tires would help a little too. MyTrail Grapplers are 10 ply and weigh a ton.
Something else to consider, 33's will look pretty small with a 4" lift.

Yes those are the factory 20's that are optional on FX4's and FX2's.
Autospring 2" leveling kit.
