Avatar, are those K02's on your rig? What size? My biggest complaint on mine is not enough clearance, so I will eventually install a lift. An inch and a half and KO2''s made a huge difference on my Jeep Liberty. But I do love the gas mileage on my Sport. I ran up to Gilman (at the base of the Jemez) today and averaged 32 mpg. Amazing for a car that isn't streamlined.

Very capable and smooth ride on the wall I don’t feel like it impacted my mpg

Hey! I just ordered a 2' lift from FR, and punctured a CV in the installation, and had to order a new one from Ford. We thought that the struts looked like they weren't sitting in a great spot and my boyfriend said he didn't think that that type of car was made for lifting- we were considering sending back to negate potential issues with the car but wanted to know if it was worth it or if it effects the longevity of the vehicle. It has 40K miles with full warranty until 100K so was not sure, and am already worried. Also my first vehicle with a lift so I am nervous. Would love yalls oppinion on if it is worth it.

Typically frameless vehicles do not get lifted. Correct.
“Worth it” is highly subjective and a pointless question. What it is “worth” is different from person to person. You need to ask yourself what is the benefit to be gained and at what cost to you. Then ask yourself if THAT is “worth it”. Only you can know that.
