Honestly, if I didn't have to drive so far to work, mine would be lifted. The problem I have is lifting and driving a lot (Morgan knows what I'm talking about) means lower gas mileage and getting like 30k miles MAX out of tires.

Yeah I do drive at least 25k miles a year, so the increased gas mileage from lowering is nice. I'm really torn on this, I really like both looks. I think I'll wait until this winter and see how it does in the snow, that will be the deciding factor. I definitely won't be doing a 6" lift, that's too much for me. I guess you could say it would get a 5.25" lift from the current stance... Since I drive so much, I will probably stick with stock size tires, maybe a little wider... My Coopers are actually wearing pretty well. I have over 20k miles on them and they have at least 25-30k left. And that's with heavy use of the skinny pedal. A normal person could probably get 75k miles out of them.

no true at all lol i had a set of super aggressive procomp extreme mt's and i got 61k out of them and i treated them like crap ... you can get a pretty beefy mud terrain now a days and have them last 50k no problems

Maybe so...but the gas mileage.

Gas mileage? What's that? Haha, idk I didn't really see a difference in my mileage from going dropped to lifted, but I never calculated it tho. But it doesn't hurt the wallet. If ur driving the truck everyday like I do it becomes normal and I don't give my mileage a second thought.

2 winters down and i have no problem with my truck on ice. i dont go plowing through fields or pulling people out of ditches but i get around just fine. even when i had my 05 4x4 the only time i would hit the 4 button is when i was coming through the western slope and front range in colorado

Gas mileage is the only thing I am worried about, but it won't be enough to break the bank. I think I have decided to drop in some 4.56s lift it back up 5.25" and put on some A/T 33s when my coopers wear out. The gears and lift might happen after Christmas...

33's are going to look tiny lifted 5.25 ... why aren't you going to 35's?

How about 4.10s and 305 street tires?
