Does lifting a jeep decrease mpg? I know bigger tires do, but wouldn't lifting it make it less aerodynamic causing the mpg to go down?

What a good locker for a c8.25 with a np231 for a DD that just needs the extra traction when 4wd can't be used and it might see some offroad if I can find trails by me. Thank you and sorry for long sentence

Default Sagging rear

Hey just curious , about to do a 2" lift and my rear springs seem a little saggy.
Is it worth it to replace my rear springs with new oem? So that I get a true 2" not just a 2" lift from where I sit??
