i have 2010 dodge ram that i want to put a suspension lift on, im trying to determine how high i want to go. i currently have 33.5 with stock rims. i keep hearing that most people like 35 but i understand that you loose mileage and power. if i stick with my 33.5 with a 6" lift will it still look good and am i going to have the same issues with my current height tire with mileage and power?

Is your truck a 2wd or 4x4? because that will make a big difference in the actual lift height

Lifting will cost you mileage regardless what you do for tires. Period.

With a 33.5" tire a level would probably be all I'd do. 35's on a 6" look small if you ask me. Just right on a 4". 33.5" on a 6" will look weird IMO. This is if youre a 4x4.

You could regear to a lower ratio to regain lost power and mileage with a bigger tire size.

If you only wanna run a 33 and worried about gas mileage then why don't you just put a leveling kit on it?

Worrying about gas mileage and lifting a truck don't go hand in hand lol

Fully agree with the guys above. If you want to keep the 33.5" tires I'd stick with a level. They'll already be borderline small on that setup IMO. Any more lift than that and they'll definitely look too small.
