Default Looking for input on my truck.

I want to lower my 2011 RCSB, currently it has a 2.5'' leveling kit, stock blocks from a 4x4 and 275/70/18 Duratracs, the tires are starting to wear down so I'm looking at replacing them with a smaller set and dropping the truck a little. I'm hoping to get back some of the MPG and gear I lost. Here's the truck, I'm leaning towards a 2/4 and it needs to be fairly economical because this will be the last set of tires that I buy for this truck. I normally would have traded by now but I've been happy with it so I want to mix it up enough to keep me satisfied for another 30-40k.

Can you go 3'' in the back without a flip kit? Also, what would be a fair price for installation of the kit that you priced me?

I honestly can't remember if the truck had factory blocks or not, it has the 4x4 blocks now. On the install price, I meant for the kit you priced with drop struts and flip kit.

Blows my mind that people buy a truck and lower it. If you want low buy a car, trucks should be raised not lowered, but that's mho.

Doesn't sound too bad, how much labor does a flip kit add?
