mpg after tires and lift

i picked up a set of 32x11.50 bfg mudders today for a pretty good deal. i would have stuck with 31's but i got such a good deal on 32's that i couldnt resist. just wondering if anyone has a these absolutely stock without any trimming on a 2nd gen 4runner. I'm getting a solid 16 mpg right now, and i don't really want a lift because i'm afraid it will mess up my mileage even more. 90% of my rig is highway miles. i was just wondering if anyone knows how much the tires and about a 1 inch of lift would mess with my mpg? im putting the tires on tommorow. any advice before? the lift will be later on if I'm in desperate need of it.

I have 32's. I cut the front valance up about an inch on the left and right. I have the V6 auto with the 4.88's. It did not really lower my MPG. Highway driving i found myself do better...

I've got Nitto Terra Grapplers in 265-75-16 which are 31.6" tall. Funny thing... highway milage went way up after installing them 2 years ago. I drive about 120 miles a day 4 times a week commuting to work and get 21-24mpg with my highly tuned 3.0. Now city driving is another thing... 14mpg if lucky!
