I'm currently debating between a westin bullbar and lights or 2-3 inch lift. What would you do first? I'm planning in keeping my 265/75/16 due to gas mileage. Do you think a small lift can affect highway mpg?

mileage
I put tires on my 2001 sport ed before the lift. 265/75/16 wrangler m/t and lost 2-3 mpg without a lift.
After the lift I lost about another 1 mpg.
80% driving is highway for work so it was very noticeable.
Not much of a difference tho when I go out to the park or the property.

Lift
Tough call. Most of my mileage is highway and I do about 20k a year. Always envy other runners with lifts or bigger tires but dont want to sacrifice any more mileage for it. I figured a 2 or 3 inch lift would cost about 1 mpg due to wind resistance. Maybe ill just bag the idea and focus on bullbar, led lights, hood scoop etc. I would Luke to raise the backend a half inch as it he rear sits about a quarter of an inch lower. Any ideas on getting that half inch?
