Unhappy suspension lift options 06' 1500 2wd crewcab

Hello everyone, nubee on lift trucks in need of help. I have 2006 2wd 1500 crewcab silverado. thinking of a 6" lift soon don't know what lift company to use (pro comp, superlift, fabtech or Doetsch) Any inputs if these kits are any good. Thinking of fitting 35 x 12.5 x 18 Mazzi hulks. truck came with 3.73's out the dealer, do i have to re - gear it? Is mpg going to change drastically?

I just installed a Fabtech 6" this past weekend and it was a PITA!!! Nothing aligned like it was supposed to. I spent most of the time cutting and grinding just to get everything lined up correctly. That being said, the kit performs great. My truck rides better than my buddy's stock crew cab.

What tires are those? Are those 20" wheels? I am about to buy some all terrain tires for my truck. I currently have 36x12.50 IRAK super swampers on it and they are rough. What size are they? I have the 6" lift and a 3" body lift. Thanks
