Re: Need Help Removing Lift
U don't really have to remove the lift, just get smaller or stock tires.
It may look funny, but will getter better gas mileage again, and u still have the choice of putting the bigger tires back on when u want or need to.
Especially if it's just a body lift, that's what I would do anyways.

Re: Need Help Removing Lift
Drop the tire size down to a 33 or 32 and you will probably save 3-4 mpg depending on your gears, with 3.73s you definitely will save that.

Let us know your set up. 2wd / 4wd? Coil or torsion? Body lift. Etc.
Pretty sure we can get you back to stock or make few changes to get better mileage!

Re: Need Help Removing Lift
Swap to 4.88 gears that will probably help a good bit.

Re: Need Help Removing Lift
Drop back down to a 33 or 32" tire as mentioned. Or you can re-gear.
If you want to loose the lift, find someone with stock suspension, tell them to give you $500 bucks on top of it, and you guys swap suspension's. That will put you back down at stock height and put some money in your pocket.

Re: Need Help Removing Lift
I'm probably not going to sell the lift but we'll see, depends on how i like it lowered back down. I'm trying to figure out what all I'll need to do this. Do i need new shocks and god knows what else? I kinda wonder what it'll look like if i just drop the front and keep the 35's with different gears. Eventually she's going to get a v8 but that's a little ways down the road, probably after deployment.
