Need some Ideas....

I have a 2000 Supercab with a 6" Fabtech suspention lift with 35.12.50 Procomp tires. I need some Ideas (besides getting rid of the big tires) on how to get a little better MPG's and more horsepower to the rear. I know that's like asking for a new truck but not wanting to pay for it but I thought it was at least worth a shot to ask. My engine is bone stock other than the lift. I'm getting about 2 gas stations per mile. Any help would be appreciated.

unless you recaled the speedo your getting about 10% better than you think . If you driveing is more than 50% around town try 4.10s trany gets into overdrive sooner engine won't have to work so hard and excelloration will be improved. On highway stay under 70 mph the lift kit increases drag quite a bit.
