Which Lift

Should I go with a 12" lift or 14" lift on my truck, what are the pros and cons of each and what can I expect for mileage change versus stock? What company should I get also?

What the heck are you trying to do with that much lift???????????

You will loose all your gas mileage with either lift and a tire that will fill the wheel well of either lift.

I was hoping to scale tall buildings with a single vehicle...just kidding, you're right, maybe that is too high, 6inch is probably better

if you go that high, then you definately need to run different gears, and some good steps !!! the 6" lifts for these trucks really do look and work great, and run 35's easily, but some people are getting 36's, or even 37's just by adding a spacer kit to the lift kit.

Get a 6" skyjacker.. or RCD or pro comp.. Don't mess with 12" you'll die.. but 6" with 36s would be nice.. it'll still rape your gas mileage probably.. but if you're not concerned, go with it
