Default need some opinions on a trade

ive been needing something better on gas and i miss having a pickup
this guy has a 98 S10 RCSB 2wd 4cyl 5 speed (81K on the clock)real clean no rust or anything. 5" lift with 31x1050 BFG AT's

im looking at trading him my 97 jimmy slt
4wd 4.3 153000 on the clock. 2" lift with 235/75's has every option but the G80 but is deff used

i was looking for a 2wd dime anyways, he has all the stock stuff so i may take off the lift and sell it

i know this is stupid with no pics but opinions?

Me personally, I wouldn't do it. My older bro has a pickup about that size, and whenever I drive it...It's fun, the 5spd is great, it's quick and dirty, but you can't do much with it. The blazer (jimmy) is much more capable.

Then again, you'd be dropping from 153,000 miles, to 81,000. That alone might be worth it!

I had a98 four cylinder 5 speed, there is no comparison between the 4 and 6 and from my experience gas mileage isn't that much better with the 4. Definitely not worth the HUGE loss in power.
