Well I would imagine that since you can clear 35's with just a level kit in the front, that an 8in lift would suffice for height but 40's are usually really wide, right?

If you decide to go thru with this, keep us posted as to what is does for your fuel econ. Talk about going from MPG to GPM.

What did he expect, the v6 has a hard time moving with stock sized tires.
