    Welcome to TN!

    Pros: Looks sweet. More clearance, bigger tires, can increase off road capability

    Cons: Shitty gas mileage, more wear and tear on components, worse handling, tire rub in some cases, etc.

    do a search in the forum. This topic has been beat to death

    Pros- Looks good, greater offroad cability, higher clearance, can fit bigger tires and wheels, depending on lift you can haul more without causing the bed to sag, and fat chicks cant jump into your truck (dont know if thats a pro or con for you) better ride depending on how you look at it.


    Cons- Less MPG, vibrations from putting your trucks suspenision componets at diff angles, $$$ spent, wont get your money back out of the lift if you trade in to dealership. Dealership will try and blame any problems you have on the lift if you are still under warrenty.


    I say lift it :D
