Whats the best lift

Looking to lift my truck some more and am wondering whats the best kit out there. I would like a 4 or 6 inch lift. Along with that what size tires can you clear because I would like to run 36" tires

4x4 or 4x2?

What wheels do you plan to run?

Both of those will determine what size tires you can fit.

Also depends on how many Benjamin's you're willing to part with.

I had a Fabtech 6" and loved it! But the price has skyrocketed on them

its a 4x4. plan on running 16x10 wheels. I like the Fabtech lifts but yes they are a pretty penny. The truck really doesnt see to much offroad time unless I am out cutting wood or pulling someone out. Just looking for something that isnt crap and has a decent ride

I love my Fabtech and I am so glad that I chose it. I have no idea what they cost now, but when I purchased mine they were not the cheapest then either.

Hunt&fish is absolutely right. Fabtech lifts are fairly easy to install and the quality is amazing. I think when I bought mine I paid around $1200 for the lift and that was about 8-9 years ago. lol I just did quick search online and it appears there about $2k or more! Then you still have to buy rims and tires

Here's a couple pics of my step side I use to have...(made a mistake and sold it)

Yep, you made a mistake alright. Love the lifted step sides. Mine is 15 years old and will still turn heads. Only 146K miles. I think I paid about $1200 for the Fabtech also.
