One thing to keeps in mind is what kind of lift you put on, and what I mean is one that is half a** put together or a proper lift kit. Proper lift, longer trailing, control arms, longer pitman, sway bar relocating brackets, etc. etc. etc., ex. Superlift. Half a** would be just coil springs and blocks. As far as mileage and power goes, what gear ratio do you have? That will determine the power change.

I have the 3.73 rear axle ratio, and am thinking about either a skyjacker 2.5 inch suspension lift, or the skyjacker 4.5 inch suspension lift kit, what do you guys think about these lifts, and do any of you have them, pics would be nice!
Right know I am thinking that the 2.5 inch lift will not even be really noticeable as far as height goes!

The 2.5" looks just like stock almost. You can't really tell it's lifted. It's like you see two stock trucks at the dealership, and one may be a tad higher from the factory than the other. Nothing stands out about it really. But you could clear 35's easily though.

I think I'll go with the 4.5 inch kit from skyjacker, comes with replacement longer shocks, and rear add a leafs, is this kit any good? I know skyjacker has a great rep. I have one more ?, will I need any more accessories with this kit, like extended brake lines etc. I dont know much about lifts so fill me in.
THANKS,

WhiteSport600,
Jack it's # is 1-801-974-7960. I delt with Tyler via e-mail. He was very helpfull.
BTW I love these shocks... I don't get knocked around anymore driving over dips and bumps in the road, soaks up the road nicely.
hope this helps.

WhiteSport600,
I have the bilstein 5100's on mine and they ride great, I got them from Jack-It as well. If I had known it would have ridden that much better with the bilsteins, I would have upgraded to the lift and shocks sooner.
