    Hey fellow Taco lovers,

    Just a quick question about Lift Kits and benefits.

    What kit have you used and what was the biggest benefit you received? Was a drop in MPG drastic? How is the turning radius after the lift?

    thank you in advance.

    Biggest benefit - clear bigger tires although most people just want it for looks.

    Expect 1-2 mpg loss with just the lift .. another 2-5 mpg loss depending on tire size and whether it's an AT or MT.

    Good luck.

    Not entirely true. Lift alone will not "clear" larger tires. :facepalm:

    You can go over the speed bumps at the mall without having to worry about scraping the bottom and as far as mpg go if you have to ask dont do it
