1. Bring the truck a little lower in Height?1/4"
2. Get any different gas mileage?Some,see next answer.
3. Have any less wear and tear on the motor and trans?At design, we almost always want bigger wheels(just look at concept cars) Engineerings response always is that it will increase wear on the suspension and reduce fuel economy because of the increase in unsprung mass.
4. Will my rig look odd with a 4 inch suspension and that 17 inch rim and 37 inch. Not odd,just different
tire configuration, I think Rancho designed theyre 4 inch lift for that config?

Thanks any education is appreciated.
