11 mpg normal?

Yep, I get about 11-12 mpg stock. I attribute that mostly to a heavy right foot, and the fact that I rarely drive more than 15-20 miles a trip. Hoping to get all new plugs/wires this summer.

Dang. I have a stock 94 with 30x9.5x15s and when I drove out east I averaged 19mpg and it has close to 250k on it. U sure you don't got a fuel leak somewhere... 0.o

I have a friend with a Chevy Tahoe 5 inches of lift and 35s and gets the same mpg. :/

Anytime you lift a vehicle you will loose mileage, the higher you go the more you loose, then bigger tire's more of a loss, any add on's you will also loose. Then don't forget where you live m.p.g will be differant in differant place's( most people seem to forget this) then the driving habits also tell your m.p.g's.So it will be quite hard if not impossable to tell you what you should and shouldn't get, no one here can truthfully tell you your m.p.g. You can only compare to similar set up jeeps.Or do the best tune up and go from there.
