I have THE SAME issue! New NGK O2 sensors, new NKG Plugs, Amsoil oil and filter, K&N air filter. I do have larger tires (only by 1 inch though). I'm getting 13.8 mpg in town...
Been slowly doing things to my jeep. New brakes, rotors, calipers, hardware and brake hoses. Added new bumper (because old one was broken and had a dent) also added new spot lights and brackets.

Had a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica for 9 years...loved it, but got hit in the front by a careless moving truck. Insurance totaled it. I could have fixed it, but thought I might want to get something newer with the money. Found the 2006 Jeep Renegade with 127k miles, 2 years newer and only 10k more...
What should the height be? It's on my list to eventually upgrade to decent springs, etc., but for now it seems to ride pretty good. That's one of the reasons I bought it because for the age, it rode and drove real nice compared to others drove.
Also, those wheels are 18" which might make the vehicle seem lower, only an inch larger than stock though with lower sidewall height. The ride is actually pretty nice right now. I might add better shocks/struts/springs later.
They do help with overheating. Stopping a heavy vehicle at speed, heats the rotors up a lot! Larger vehicles often have warped rotors because of stopping too short and heating them up. I had a Pacifica I put slotted drilled rotors on because it was always a bear to stop. Helped a lot...
Fixing this up a bit. Just bought 5 wheels and tires for her. I have new red calipers and slotted/drilled rotors to put on as well. New spark plugs, fluid changes, etc. It runs great and looks pretty sharp. Dealing with some small rust spots this summer. Have issues with O2 sensors, I think...
I just bought a new stereo fro Crutchfield, had them wire everything to harness...just plug and play. 120 bucks! there is one screw on the panel to get out, right in the little cubby. Use pry tools to pry it off. you don't even need to unplug the controls.
