I went with the Teraflex 2" leveling kit (1155200, I think). Worked great, easy install and great price. Can easily run 33s on this one.

Daystars 1 3/4" is a good one also.

I have this lift and really like it. Cheap, easy to install, looks good, no other mods necessary. A great beginner's lift

255/80-17? You shouldn't need any lift to run this size of tire...

If you do go with the TeraFlex Premium 1.5" Leveling Kit you're thinkin' right.

True, no lift needed for a skinny 33. An aggressive tread may decrease your mpg due to rolling resistance. Any change to rake with a lift, or any mod that changes aerodynamics will affect mpg. Just removing the plastic air dam is a loss of 1+ mpg.

I went with the teraflex Performance Leveling Kit and Rancho xl9000 shocks. I love the ride, much better than the stock sport ride. I have Duratrac 285/70/17 tires and the lift looks perfect with them. If you intend to put on an aftermarket bumper and winch then you will probably want the performance (spring) leveling kit, if not the spacers would probably do fine.
