only improvement ive found on performance coils,is a smoother idle.

yes it will be "sluggish" once you move to 30's. if your looking for "power",you are going in the opposite direction. Only thing to compensate for this is regearing.
ie; removing both front and read differentials,taking them apart and replacing the gears. Which you probably dont know how to do correctly. I probally sound like a douche,but thats just me being honest since i dont want you to blow time and money on something then get in over your head.

It will be a little sluggish off the line, but once you are moving, it shouldn't be as noticeable.

Another though... A V8 swap is pretty easy into a 2wd, unless you have to get it past a smog check. $.02

75% of us here have. This site is dependant on the traffic generated by issues dealing with 4wd and lifting problems.

I just lifted mine, personal preference I guess. It sat to low for me, to be 4wd anyway. Looking at the k&n cold air intake..... Anybody run it?

If you accept the chances of early wear from lifting, then its not a problem
