How much to your wheels and tires weigh vs. stock wheels and tires? Is your truck lifted.

I can promise you your tires are way heavier than stock, and if you are lifted that won't help either. If you want better fuel economy ditch the mud tires and wheels, go back to the stockers, and if you are lifted ditch that too.

Otherwise enjoy your truck for what it does do well in it's modified form, and forgive it's associated costs in fuel.
