Not with just the lift, but with the added weight of it and the larger tires, and wheels. The weight reduces gas mileage, with a regear and tune, you can gain some of that back.

Regear for 4wd, I'd guess around $1,500 dollars. And personally the best tune to get, is a Gryphon PHP with one custom tune is $440. So around $2,000. On top of the close to 5,000 or so for lift, wheels, tires.

Body lifts, just aren't worth the money, IMO. If done correctly, and moved hitch up and make everything fit snug, look fine to me.

The parts for the lift kit itself weigh well over 250 pounds.

I worded that wrong. Meant more of a, it's not only the lift. That still doesn't make sense, but you get the point.
