I just put a Rev Tech level lift on my 08 Tundra crew max. I seem to have lost all my fuel milage. I was wondering if anyonr else has suffered the same problem and might have any suggestions on how to remidy it.

bigger tires?? if so, thats why your mileage has gone down

Tires were the same size just a little more aggresive.

Rolling friction is a mother...

aggressive tires, like mud treads, seem to add friction over smooth tires. also even if your tires are the same size, its common for tires with deep tread to have slightly increased diameter. aside from that, they say lifts add slight wind resistance. In your case, you shouldn't lose a lot of mpg, if you do it's your foot.
