Default Suspension Gas Mileage

I have a 98 blazer 4x4 and I was wondering how much my gas mileage would go down with a 2in. suspension lift? Any information is greatly appreciated, Thanks.

A lift alone will not cause your mileage to drop by too awful much. It is the running of larger tires which typically affects mileage.

Before my lift and tires, I was getting 18city-20hwy. Now I get around 15city - 17.5hwy. I get about 1mpg better with my BFG all-terrains than with the same size BFG mud-terrains on the highway.
