For starters...heres just a basic list of popular ones on this forum. There are others of course, but these are the most talked about:

6" - FabTech, Pro Comp

4" - Rancho

3" - Skyjacker (this is sort of a cheapy lift, heard good and bad)

Do a search on those lifts to find more. Some have hybrid lifts...mixing leveling kits with lifts etc...

Good luck.

How big of tires do you want to clear?

If you want to do a 6" my choices would be the Fabtech with coilovers or RCD. Now if you really want something crazy, go with the Rize Industries kit.

I have the 6" Pro-Comp and love it. The only thing I would do diffrently, is don't get the spacer kit, get the coil over kit.

I'm seriously thinking about and probably will end up getting it, but it won't happen until at least August.

RCD > Fabtech

Fabtech is not bad, but is not the best. If you really want to use your truck go with the RCD.
