Lift and 33's

You should have 4.10 gears so you'll notice a little drop. I would expect between 1-2 city and highway shouldnt change much. The bigger tires of course will have more wear on the vehicle but it won't be anything dramatic. The lift won't change wear at all.

What gears do you have in it now? Probably 4.10's. As it is, you have 32" tires, with the 33's your mileage will barely drop. Probably .5-1 mpg. As long as you do the body lift right, there should be no extra wear and tear. Same thing goes for the tire, you already have 32's and you are only going up a half inch. So I would say no more wear and tear than what you already have.

Yeah I missed that he had 265s already, your correct on the mileage only dropping a little bit.

Right after I lifted my truck and got my 33s, my gas mileage dropped around 1/2 a mpg. Then I got my engine wet (the inside) and it dropped to about 11 mpg, the fixed it and was up to 18 mpg at one point, now it's back around 15 mpg. and I have 3.73s and an auto. So 33's don't really hurt mileage that bad.
As far as lift goes, it isn't that complicated, it's just somewhat time consuming. Take off body/bed mounts, insert blocks, remount. Just make sure you have all the tools and parts before you start. It took me and another guy around 12 hrs (including 4-5 trips to the auto parts store).

Do you want suspension lift or a body lift? With a body lift go for either Performance Accessories, or the Summit Racing brand. If you want suspension, you get get Superlift's 4 inch kit. And that it lol

I saw better overall mileage with 32s and stock 4.10s...
around town the truck will get worse mileage with 33's. but on the highway, you should see some really good numbers. your rpms will drop, but not drop too much so that you wont be in the powerband of torque anymore. 33s and 4.10s should be just about perfect for economical numbers.
wrongo. i would know too...i went from 31 to 265 then to 32 and now 35. vicious cycle indeed.
