Im geussing you have the new body style 04+ not the 04 Heritage.

If so the best 6" kit you can go with is the Fabtech 6"

if you are looking to go wheeling then the only real choice in my opinion is the fabtech kit with new coils or the pro comp with the new coils. i dont take mine off the pavement but i drove trucks with both kits before i purchased my lift and i definitely notice a difference between your basic kits with spacers and the kits with new coils. i believe the pro comp looks better also but again just my opinion.

I have the procomp stage2 with coilovers. I have taken it off road several times and it hasn't failed me yet. Fabtech is a great lift as well. I would shop around and find which kit you can get the best deal on. 4wheelparts had a deal, for $500 of the kit and install. Couldn't pass that up. I recommend getting the coilovers.

Yeah forgot to mention that!

Either of the two Fabtech or Procomp... You are gonna want to get new coilevers. The Procomp Stage II is a great lift.

Also check out the Rize kits... more expensive but really nice! But they dont have a 6"

If you not going to offroad that often and maybe light offroading I think the Procomp Stage I kit would do fine. It also saves you a bit of money. It rides great on the pavement and doesn't do to bad offroad either. Later on you could always upgrade to the coilovers, thats what I did.
