Default Considering a lift

So I got a 2012 screw with the 6.5 ft bed, ecoboost. I am really considering giving it a 6in pro comp lift, with the nitto or toyo in 35 and a set of wheels, so I was wondering if some of ya fellas with this setup could post some pics for me and some good tips, I found the setup from a shop close by and it'll be around 4000 for everything, lift would be installed by a personal friend with tons of hands on experience

I was really considering 20 inch wheels aswell but the last truck I had was a ram 1500 with 20's and tires were pretty hard on the pocket book but I'm sure 18's aren't much cheaper??

I'm only doing 20's just cause I already have them on and I like the look of them,and I had 17's on my last f150 with 285/65 Bfg all terrains and they cost me 265$ a tire

Between open country 20's and 18's there's a 60 dollar difference on 35x12.5, not to to bad

With gas here heading toward $4.00 a gallon by this summer, there is no way that I would be prepared to take a 30% hit in miles per gallon just to lift my truck and put on knobby tires......JMHO.......

Yes the thought has crossed my mind about the gas but I don't put many miles on a yr n plus our other vehicle gets great mileage so it not much of a big deal, gas where I'm at is 3.75
