lift ?
right now i have a 6inch SLift and 35s and the 35s are huging my wheel wells almost and i was just seeing if i puta a 2inch body lift if it would make any diffrens and would i lose more gas MPG over it?
Post a pic if you can and look at my album, you should have a lot more empty tire well than I do...
if you go look at my pics you can kind of see it. ill try to get another pic but cant right now. its to dark out. but its not rubbing i guess i just want it to look higher and the bars under my truck hang down low but i cant do to much about it becuase its part of the lift. but if i put 2 more inches on will i lose gas?
exactly what i was thinking.
Pictures don't really look like 6" lift.

I hate to say it, but comparing the photos, I ain't so sure you got 6" of lift. If your tires are 35s, you should have a good bit more between the tire and top of the tire well...
But to answer your question, adding additional lift will increase wind drag, decreasing gas mileage...

your 4in looks like my 6in. any ideas why? maybe if i tightin my shocks? and do you guys think a lil higher will give it a nicer look. and do you see the bars hanging under it? thats what i want to rase so i dont hit it on ****.
Those are the torsion bars, cheaper kits don't relocate them, my guess is you got a Fabtech or Procomp kit. Also if you use a body lift it will lift just that, the body. The suspension components stay, so you will see more of that bar and probably a whole lot more including the frame. If seeing the torsion bar bothers you, you will not be happy seeing even more suspension components and frame underneath.
But like I said, your 6" kit is lifting your suspension no more than my 4" Rancho kit.
Using my 4" as an example, if I went with a TRUE 6" of suspension lift, I think 35's would look too small and I'd have had to go with 37s...
Obviously, if your 6" kit had 2" less of lift, you'd not even fit 35s...

so there is no way to move them bars at all? because i spent $1,700 on the lift kit and if its cheap i kind of pissed. because cheap means stuffs going to brake and i dont want to deal with that
