6.8L V10

I have a 8" lifted F250 V10, is there anyway to improve my gas mileage to double digits without compromising on my lift? I would also like to add axle stabilizers to both front and rear axles, and was wondering where to get them, and which is a good brand?

Gears. With the correct gearing and driving like grandma on her way to church will net you better gas mileage.

narrow light tires. Based off my 4x4 excursion with 4.30's I'd say there's no other way.

it dont matter what u do, u aint gaininng MPG with a truck that high..

ur simply pushing a massive brick throu the air thats also lifted..

u can and should regear to get back some lost power from the big tires thou.

personaly i'd sugggest at the very least 4:88's...
