im looking at a 91 exploder on 35s with 4.11s 10in lift. 4.0.... aprox mpg? cant be to terrible?.?
I would say with the auto, the tranny will cost you sooner or later when it decideds to blow up.
What does it have for a motor to push it along? I keep picturing a brick on stilts wheezing along with an overworked 4.0.....
your buying a ford, with 10 inch lift and 35's, and you major concern is mpg?

lolLower the lift down to 6" or less (trim the fenders for the tires), regear the axles to 4.88, inflate the tires to 35 PSI, and you may be able to get 20-21 out of it doing 60 on the freeway (16-18 around town, depending on how you drive).
Drive it like an animal though and you'll be lucky to get 14, even with the above.
