I considered this question after the lift, but haven't been paying attention...and the tires were just put on Thursday so not enough time to tell. I'll reset the MPG gauge and check in a few days.
I've put on a few thing that already affect the MPG. The roof racks dropped my MPG significantly, and the BMS PowerBox tune dropped it a little more. I was sitting at 21MPG average after those mods but before the tires/lift.
I didn't want to abandon Xoutpost since that is where I got the idea for all of this, but I'll answer your question here: The tires have an awesome ride. They add a positive element to the whole setup because for the damping I need with the additional height the ride gets a bit rough, but the tires soften it up.
You don't need the lift to put the tires on though. The front suspension piece you have to clear doesn't move when you lift it so that doesn't help at all. You need either the lower offset rims like Lambeau's Touren TR60 18X8 ET20 or you need spacers.
