I was just exploring my options. I talked to the people at Doestch, and its going to cost me $714.58 for the lift (5"/4") shipped to my front door. I am hoping that is level enough. If not I can always go with AAL's

haha for that i would have just stayed with the fabtech.

i was mainly trying to get you to buy my blocks but if yours looks good with the spindles i may go that route since i can appease myself now with lift coils since the ones ive found dont work with the v6... gay

I had considered it, but I had no need for 2" blocks. I want the dang thing to be level for once. Never has been and I hate it when it rains and I walk out to a bed/swimming pool. You have lift coils too?

My truck is already going to be huge... well IMO. Its going to be taller than a truck with just the 7.5" fabtech lift on it, and a 2wd truck with the 7.5" sits pretty close in height to a 4x4 with a 6" lift. I think that will have to be big enough for now. Maybe when I can get a higher-paying job that will afford me the money to pay for a truck that gets 10mpg then I will make it huge. I just want to run 35's for a bit and see how I like it.

I am pretty sure we are jacking this guys thread though.

Depends on your gearing. If you are running 3:55's on an open differential then your overall gas mileage might not be too good. Your highway will be decent, but city and mixed.. not so much. Most people running 35's get 4:56's or 4:88's. Its all up to you. If you have a 3:73 limited slip differential then I think you will be alright for awhile. BUT I would regear it either way if I were you.
