Yep. You may need to trim flares or fenders, but its very possible.

What Gee said. But if you'll be using a AAL lift kit, make sure your rear end isn't sagging now. That'll make your job even harder once you try to fit 32s down there.

I went with "3 because with 4+" you most likely need an SYE and thats another $200 for me plus the other $100 more that the lift costs anyways, better deal for me

6.5" requires more BS than 3". Plain and simple.

Not unless you regear and/or get larger tires.

Maybe a slight decrease from wind resistance.
