I am getting between 16-17 mpg with 90% of that as city type of mileage. That's the 4.0 with a 2.5" lift, 255 tires, ARB bumper, roof rack, sliders, a topper, and some skids.

I have a '12 DCSB (auto trans) with plate bumpers, sliders, Leer shell, and 2" of lift. I have steel wheels (heavy) with 265/75r16 E-rated BFG ATs. My city MPGs vary from 17.5-18.5. My best tank MPG average was 19.5 mostly highway driving around 70MPH. I know that's a slightly smaller tire size than what you're considering.
My original goal was to make the jump to 255/85s, but I do so much road driving I think it's more cons than pros for me at the moment. When my BFGs wear out, I'll likely move to TRD aluminum wheels with 265/75 Cooper S/T Maxxs (which are both a few pounds lighter than my current set-up). My goal is to at least reach 20MPG highway as fuel prices are starting to climb again.

My 08 DCLB auto 4.0l with skids, 3" lift and 285/70r17 k02's, sliders, winch bumper and high clearance rear bumper gets 14mpg daily driving. I get slightly better with highway only driving but don't think I get any better than 15mpg. 275,000kms on it as of today.
If I could get 19 I'd be pretty happy.

I have a '14 DCSB Off-Road with a 2.5" lift, Cooper A/T3 285/75r16 on stock wheels, Softopper, wood platform in the bed, and I usually have a bunch of fishing/camping gear back there. Pelfreybilt hidden winch mount and Warn M8000 with steel rope wrap up the front along with some LEDs.
I live in Brooklyn, NY, so my city mileage is different than a lot of people. My 4.5 mile commute gets me 8-10mpg due to the insane amount of lights and stop signs I hit. I didn't get much better when my truck was stock. On the highway, however, I'm getting 14-16 here in the hilly northeast. I'm hoping that increases a little when I install the speedometer calibrator and my shift points are corrected.

05 AccessCab, 6spd with LT265s, OME, ARB, winch, camper shell, sliders and some other junk and I average about 14.7-15.5mpg on ethanol blend, around 17mpg on real gasoline. Utter crap if you ask me, especially since Toyota was advertising 19mpg. I think I should sue VW, I mean Toyota. It is utter crap though that a newer vehicle gets such crappy mileage.
Auto or manual?
