My 94 2wd V6. Reg cab
Planning to run
4inch Rough Country Susp Lift with Steer stabalizer..

My gearing is 3.08 which i understand to be for MPG and not power or lift.
Just how much power will I lose?
IS it worth it and would you run it?

IS it safe to run my 32x11.5 with that lift and gearing.
Im worried about my transmission etc as thats the last thing i want to do.
Power is a small issue mainly just is it safe?

My truck has 120000 miles and original transmission from 94.

truck is gonna be a slow as balls...specially on windy days...wont "hurt" anything though....ur rpms might be lil low and trans might shift between 3-4 more.
 
What you mean trans might shift between 3-4 more? and will I have enough pickup ?

if its slow now, it will def be slower after. Power will be there, you will just have to get on the gas a bit more to get up to speed quicker. By shifting more between 3-4 I mean that when you hit a slight grade, its more likely to downshift in order to keep its speed. If youre cruising along at 65 and wanna go 70-75, lets say before lift it didnt downshift to speed up...with the lift and tires, it will now. If it did downshift before, it will take longer to get up to 70-75 with those taller tires.
 
Seeing as you have the V6, it would probably benefit you to regear even if you were staying stock to give it a bit more pickup. I've never owned a lifted V6 so I can't say for sure, just imo.
