2.7L Non-SAS Badlands and Black Diamond Question -- lift, wheels, tires?

[Little Foot]

For those that have a 2.7L Non-SAS Badlands or Black Diamond, which both have 4.46 gears. When you lifted your Bronco and put on either 35x12.5s or 315/70R17s, what did your MPG drop down to?

What kind of lift did you do?

What wheels and tires are you running?

Since I’ve adjusted my Wildtrak order, I am now looking at options and expected daily driving performance.

Is +0 offset too much poke for non-SAS fenders? Since it doesn’t seem that nobody wants to buy my RTR Tech 6 wheels

Thanks for any input.

I have a two inch spacer lift with Sasquatch takeoff tires and wheels. The dealership actually did it before I bought it, so I have no idea what the MPG would have been.

But when I first got it, I was averaging 15-17 MPG lol. I’ve put about 3000 miles on it and it’s up to 17-18 MPG (when the weather is around 70 degrees, I can even get 19). Definitely not great but 18 seems to be what a lot of those with SAS get, so can’t complain. Though I want to put SAS coilovers on eventually, which will lower the lift by a hair and maybe get the MPG .5 higher.

Cool, Thank you for letting me know. I’m definitely interested in what everyone is getting. I’m strategically planning my future mods based on keeping this a daily driver as I cannot afford a daily driver and toy

I have BD 2.7 I a did 2 inch spacer lift removed crash bars added SAS takeoff wheels and Nitto ridge grappler 35 inch tires
avg MPG 17 before switch it was 18. I changed out the BD flares to SAS as the tire poke was too much for my liking

Put a 2inch coil spacer on my wife's 2.3 4door black diamond with a set of Wildtrack take offs. Gets about 16mpg now pre lift it was almost 18. But it seems like when I drive it it gets better mpg. I am having the same lift and tires put on my 2 door BD this week. Should have a better sense of MPG then. Before and after pics
