Rough Country is a great lift, and its more affordable than most of the others. You should get the 7 inch cst lift and put 37's under it

haha i would love to do that but i dont think i have enough power to take advantage of the self cleaning abilities of the tire seeing as i only have 3.55 gears and dont really wanna rear gear and i live in canada so tire are insanely exspensive its already gonna cost me about 1500-1700 just for 35's or 1200$ if i decide to maybe go for a smaller lift and 33's

Yeah I have 33.8 inch tires on my 6 inch rough country lift. 305/70/17 good tires. They are goodyear MT/R's. But they are very expensive.

yeah im probbaly for the next little bit just gonna go with a 2 1/2 in leveling kit and some 33's and seee how that goes unless of course i run into some money or something soon then i'll deffintly go with the 6 in lift probably 3.92 gears and a detroit air locker with most likely 35's and maybe a programmer to get a little extra power i only have the 4.7 so ive got like 235 hp 300 torque now do you know how much a programmer can add ?

I have the 4.7 too. If you are thinking about 35's you need 4.56 gears. I went from 3.55 to 4.56 and I felt no power loss at all. maybe a little gain from 3.55 with 31's to 4.56 with 35's

To your question, all i'm going to say is, you get what you pay for.

Before I tell you my MPG here is my warning. I need new spark plugs transmission serviced and rear diff fluid done. I get 16 mpg at 65 on the highway. like 11 to 12 city.
