First of all, Thank You for serving! 
It's a super nice looking truck, love the colors and the bed cover really looks nice.
As to my opinion of the dark tail lights, lift with front higher than rear (it is) and those wheels and tires .... I suppose it all will suit Alaska.
What's not an opinion is that the first time you get a piece of steel imbedded in the center of one of your eyes
and it tears your eyelid's insides open every time you blink and you go to an eye specialist and he numbs it and then pulls it out and scrapes & shaves the cornea of rust staining and then for a year or more you see a ring around it when looking at lights as you count your lucky stars ... 
... you'll learn to wear safety glasses when using a high speed angle grinder.

Don't forget some safety glasses.

try looking on the autospring ebay page, if not you gotta call autospring, you used to have to i think. most lift companies i think make an aal. skyjacker, super lift, ect.
remember if the aal really gives you 3 inches, you can remove the stock block (~2 inches) for a total of a 1 inch lift.

So I did a full tank drive (City/highway) with the tires and lift ...got what I expected 9.5 MPG but my route to work and back sucks going over a mountain so i figure that has something to do with it - but hopefully the Edge canned tunes and future custom tunes from PHP will help out a bit
