Well city I am not worried about, its the 25-35 minute (depending on traffic) commute every morning.

I am wondering how much difference in MPG's I would see with just taking the lift off. The wheels and tires I have would fit with no lift so I could continue to run them. Any ideas on that??

the way i look at it is the main reason you lose your mpgs is from the extra weight and what weighs the most with your current set up is your wheels and tires, so taking the lift off wont help that much if anything take the lift off and put stock wheels and 245 or 265 tires on it and lose all extra weight you can spare tire any thing you keep in the bed etc. just losing the lift i would be suprised if it makes enough difference for you to be happy.

Yeah, makes sense. I guess I should just put these two inch spacers on top of my 6 inch lift then.... :)
