Direction to take my truck in

Hey everyone, I have a dilemma. I bought my '02 F150 Lariat SuperCrew 5.4L 2WD a couple weeks ago and I'm trying to decide what direction to take the truck in. We were looking for a lifted black truck and ended up with a lowered white one! I guess that's just the way it goes some time though. I love the truck, it is lowered on 18" Roush Mark Martin rims, 295/45/18, looks like about a 2-3" drop. Anyways, I don't mind street trucks, I've always been into them. But my wife likes lifted trucks, I certainly like them, but have never owned one. I can't decide if I should put in stock Lightning springs and keep it more of a Sport Truck or do a 6" lift and 33's or 35's. Anyone able to give me mpg figures with that kind of lift and tire choice?

I haven't had a lifted 2wd but my 4x4 lost about 4 mpg going to 35's.

I have reservations about lifting a 2WD. I think I'll only do about a 4" lift and maybe 33's. My wife wants to be able to park in he garage if I ever get it cleared out. Too much lift and that won't happen. And she's right as usual, it would be nice to be able to wrench on it in the garage instead of the driveway. Anyone know how to upload pictures from their phone on the mobile site?

I don't believe that's possible with our current mobile site
