Default

2000 w/3.5 lift , 31 x 10.50 rear ratio 3:55 & 4.7 stroker stage 2 intake , Helix intake spacer , flowmaster exhaust . I noticed after the lift and larger tires that my XJ gets better fuel mileage highway but lost on the city side 17 city / 24 - 25 highway . Larger engine helps it cruise easier , cruises 65 mph @ 1750 rpm used to be around 2050 rpm w/235's

When I had 31's on my Jeep I only got like 13-14 hwy. After I went back to 235`s it went up to 17 or so hwy. Then when I switched to the 99+ intake it shot up to like 20 hwy but my city mpg dropped a lot.
