yes the lift and the tires will hurt your performance and mileage, your off to a good start though, you will hear a lot of different opinions but i think an intake will help a bit especially with mileage, you may also want to look into ppe's boost valve.

I would suggest gears so you don't lose any performance with taller tires.

There are a bunch of vendors here to help you with the coi. Just ask and they will help guaranteed. I would do the air box mod. at least untill you get an intake. You can find that at Kennedy Diesel.

Yes they will.Gears are the most often overlooked mod. Your stock tires are only 31" tall and when you add 4" of hieght that will put you under the power curve of the motor. Google gear ratio calculator that will put in perspective for you.

Welcome to the site!!!

I don't have the code for edge, but IMO if you are going to do 35" Tires then i would stay away from level 6 anyway. That high of a HP increase with that size tires would probably kill your tranny. Also IMO a intake won't help you that much. If i had it to do over i would have just kept my stock intake. I seen no benefits at all out of changing the intake to a aftermarket one, but if you want one the best brands are AFE, S&B, and Volant. Banks is also really good, but you will pay a pretty penny for them.
