Lightbulb Can't decide 2" or 4"...

Hey guy's

Im gonna lift my truck after christmas, but I can't decide either 2" lift with 32" tires or 4" with 33's.

I don't want my gas mileage to go too bad, already at about 15 MPG with 31's, and I don't want to loose to much of the nice ride.

So what are your idea's and do any of ya'll have any pic's of a 92 thru 96 with either of the lifts.

My kids want me to get the 4" or higher.....LOL

I love this site, Ive learned alot just reading all the threads..
Thanks for your help

a 4 inch with 33's will look much better. my gas mileage didnt change after i switched the 32's to 33's. i have a 2 inch suspension and threw it out because the whole skyjacker kit was junk. it sagged in a matter of months. now the 4 inch skyjacker suspension i have now is great, and looks much better

If you get the 2", you'll wish you got the 4" every time you look at it...

I went 4" w/32"s. Then kicked myself for two years until I went up again. Save yourself the frustration and go 6" with 33"s. It's only about $50 more than a 4".
