If you have good reason for lifting it do it, but if you are concerned about the cost of fuel forgett the lift kit cause it will cost you at the pump. Some will say that lifting then adjusting the tire size will fix the mog loss is not true cause your trucks front end effectively becomes taller causeing more drag and that will cost you at the pump. No way around this

It's true, lifting will open up a whole new world of potential problems and you'll find that lifting sort of has a domino effect. Put a lift kit on, you need bigger tires, then you need bigger brakes, then you need lower gears, then you need tougher steering components, then you need a better tranny, then more power, then for some unknown reason you need more lift again....and on it goes. But that's all part of the fun.

If you want to do it, then do it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Unless you really like parking in a garage, then don't do it
