I have a 94 2.3L with a 2 inch leveling kit and 31x10.5" tires. I really haven't noticed much of a difference in gas milage still getting around 23-25. So I think you need a 2.3L hahaha

on mine yes. But after a while 10 years when springs start to sag a little, I had to put1/4 inch washer on front bumper bracket, so that on a sharp turn if I hit something hard it don't rub.

when we first had the loft we didn't have to put a small spacer on front bumper. But mine is a 4x4 , so it had a factory lift on it. Slightly higher than a 2 wheel drive

I don't know the name of lift. My dad put it on 18 years ago, all I know is that it's a 4inch lift. I'll ask him to see if he remembers.
