Did you put smaller tires on your wheels with the drop? If so that could affect the reading.
I like to watch my D.I.C. gas mileage for the hell of it, but I never trust it. It's consistantly off when doing the math manually after filling up.
BTW: I noticed no increase in gas mileage after the drop. Usually get upper 18's - low 19's combined during the warmer months.

yea i do that also just watch it all though its probably not right like u say.. but um the tires are factory ones that the wheels come with 285/45/22 which are exactly the same height as the stock 20 tires i had on before which were the 275/55/20 or sumthing like that.. but i guess i never really took a long road trip to find out exactly the gas consumption at freeway cruising speeds. but like i said i dont thinks its exactly correct on th D.I.C. but the highest mpg that i saw on the dash reader was after i lowered it..or maybe i was goin with the wind lol who knows! ill check on it later

Nice... that's what I wanna do...
1/3 drop though... relocators and pull my block. I already have shackles. Those clamps can't ride good and can't be good for the leaf springs
