I thought that by lowering it you would decrease the wind resistance and therefore increase your Highway MPG's at least. If that is the case, I might not do the 2/4 drop that I was planning on. That was the #1 reason for me to lower my truck.
I lowered mine 2/5 it helped a few mpg.s but my biggest gain was changein the camshaft it lowered my RPMs at cruisein speeds and now I get 19.2 on the Highway, but with my lead foot still get 11 around town. Ha Ha Ha
Lowering the truck won't decrease the frontal area the winds hits on the truck. The only factor that I could see as an advantage on the highway is less wind under the truck, possibly making it more stable with less lift. It's possible, but how noticeable, I dunno.
