Autospring installed...want more lift now!!

Ok, well.... i've had the Autospring installed for a month or two now. Well... liked it, heck i still like it..... but i want more now!! I'm not too up on the suspension stuff though, so please bare with me here. First off...I'm looking into doing a 6" lift with 35's. With that, here's a few questions.

-Does the Autospring have to go if/when i get a lift kit installed? I think i read somewhere on here before that it does come out?!

-6" lift... now is that really a 4" lift?? 6" in front accomodating for the front being lower than the rear, 4" in rear.

Lastly, whether it be own experience or just opinions, facts, etc... What would be the company to go with for the lift? Whats the benefit/negative to each company?

I know i have alot of reading to do, hell, i've been doing some already. Late night hours after work reviewing the forum!! I'm just trying to get some information here and maybe i can feed off the answers and get better results this way. Thanks alot for the help guys!!

I'd go with a 6 inch Fabtech. Yes, most lifts give you less lift in the rear to level the truck.

With a full on suspension lift, I think the Autospring’s must go.

Id do a Fabtech Kit or a Rancho...Yep, the Autospring will go since the Suspension Kits keep the truck level in most cases already.

If you go with Fabtech, front coilovers are adjustable...great kit, had it before and recommend it if you know you will never go back to stock. I beleive it requires some cutting to add the new subframe...correct me if Im wrong...

Im not sure with Rancho, but this was a kit I was looking at getting since you could still use stock rims with it...I dont think there is cutting required with this one...might want to see if someone around here has installed it. I know there are a couple folks actually...
