Default Lift kit and tires

Alright I want to lift my truck 4 or 6 inches I probably will just go with a zone or rough country nothing fancy my only reason not to go with a 6 inch is cause I don't want it to kill my MPG but I really don't know if it would or what really cause to lose MPG or if I could recover it with cool air intake and programer And exhaust But idk guys what your input on this and also can I see some pics of trucks with 6 inch and 4 inch lift With 35 and 33 tires

If your really worried about killing your mpgs, i would suggest leveling your truck and throw some 33's on.

Don't lift it if your worried about MPG's mine dropped a lot. But I didn't buy it for fuel economy. Programmer exhaust CAI will help but not bring it back to stock.
