I kinda liked the balloon......I have the adjustable bilsteins, no blocks and have 275/70/18's on it now (winter tires / wheels). Even on the highest setting I still get a bit of rake. I'll post a pic but it's not really that great if you ask me. I have the factory running boards still on (anti-gravel) so maybe that's why it doesn't look as aggressive as the others.

I just installed a set of Pro Comp Pro Runner height-adjustable shocks, and a set of Pro Comp 7031s with 305/65/18s. My rear shows still being 3/4" higher(stock it was 2-3/4" higher than the front), but I have a shell on the way that should even it out.
My tires are 33.4"x12", and my speedo and fuel mileage have barely changed.

At this point I had Nitto Terras, 305/60-18's. Avg. mpg was 14. 13 city, 15 highway best. It has a Bilstein setup front and rear. No lift blocks.

Switched to Toyo MT's in 33x12.50-18. Now I get 12.5 in town, 12.5-13 on the highway. If I set cruise to 70, I can eek it up to 13.5-13.9. Hand calculated. Speedometer spot-on, verified by GPS.

I'd say go with the 5.0. They're proven to get better mileage under load.
