Lifted & 20mpg+ Club???
My Jeep is my daily driver and the advertised 21mpg (24mpg actual) did help encourage me to buy it. I'll average 30k miles a year so for me, decent gas mileage will save a few pennies in the long run. So my question is if anyone has a lift & still gets 20mpg+? What is your wheel/tire combo?

I have a 2012 jk 2 door with a 3" bds lift, Duratrac's 285/70/17 and I average just under 19.0 mpg overall
Used to be in very low 20's and then I added the bigger tires and I lost a mile or so, then I did the lift and lost another mile or so
And now I just added an Ace rear bumper/tire carrier (190 pounds!) and next week getting the Ace front bumper installed (130 pounds)
So I am wondering if I'll wind up in the high 17's mpg
