Talking How bad does gas mileage get when...

I got a question for you all 4 Runner people out there. Ok, suppose you take a stock 2nd generation 4 Runner and put 36's under it and regear it properly, how will your gas mileage be with the new tires and gears compared to when it was stock? Thank you for your help.

First, you will not be able to get 36's on it without lifting the vehicle a good amount, like 4". With the extra weight and rolling resistance of the tires and wieght of the wheels, your gas milage will probably drop significantly. Hope this helps.

I was thinking 4" suspension 3" body, and make that 37's instead. Thanks.
