Yea, I think I'm looking for that middle ground. My son went with a 12" lift and 42's. Then went down to 39s. Said his next move will be 37's and down to an 8" lift. Still looking but at the end of the day I will probably look at a 4-6" lift and 35's. After 3 years getting 11 mpg at best with my 08 I was hoping to keep it better.
