Did you add the tires or was it done before you, it could have been regeared. But you have it backwards, when your speedometer says you are going 60 you are really going 74, that could be right. When your speedometer says 48 you are really going 60.

There is always the old drive 10 miles down the road and see how your odometer compares with the mileage markers.

Unfortunately either way 6 inches of lift and 35s are going to make good mpg impossible.

Just curious what were the stock tires, they must have been tiny, i figured 245/75/16 was a good guess?
