I've noticed better mileage at stock ride height (+1-2 mpg over top perch)

But I like the higher setting even more than the mpgs

My truck is an 11, on a good day I get 11.3 running 70 on a 45 minute commute to KCK. I can't even fathom the milage you guys are talking about! Do I need to be taking my truck into the shop to find out if there is somthing wrong with it?

I heard that the newer ones got better mpgs, I would like to know they did it. So I can do it to mine.
