    Keep the body lift because it lets you run the 35" tires.

    Sell the brush guard.

    Re-gear.

    Yes i def need some better mpg not expecting to get 20+ but it is getting a little rediculous but i think if i dropped the BL and put 33s and maybe a new set of wheels on it it would still look good and give me +3-4 mpg as well

    You could go with 16" alloys on 285/75/16 tires and get better gas mileage than regular 33's on steelies like your wheels are now. You could possibly get 18 then.

    Hm... Maybe a tube bumper instead of a brush guard? I think you should do what YOU want man not what we think looks good.

    I like your build the way it is now. I'd say get another truck and start over.

    I like the idea of a second truck or car. Are you into classics? Muscle? Import?

    Truck looks good now. I agree with everyone also. Dropping to 33s will def help with gas mileage and dropping the body lift will make it look better and feel better. And ill drive to NC to trade u tires. 285/75/16 km2s for yours .....

    The km2s are the newer generation. I had a set of the kms and they were good tires but the km2s are much better for me. Noticeably better in mud and rock, quieter on road, wear evenly on road, and seem to be tougher

    Holy hell 12 mpg haha. Getting rid of the BL would be great if you're not planning on running 35s.. My buddy had a BL like that on 35s and it rode like hell. Not saying yours does, its just my experience. It'll probably be safer too. I absolutely love your truck though.
