Which way should I go with my truck?

I have been thinking alot here lately about different ways to go with it. The two ways I have been thinking about are lift it 6" and put 37's on it since I already have the 2" Bilsteins. That way would be EXPENSIVE. So it got me thinking. I wouldn't mind having it at stock height with some 20's or 22's on 35" Toyo M/t's with a supercharger. I just think it would look good either way. The big thing that is getting to me is black or chrome. I have a chrome front end that would be painted along with PTM powdercoat bumpers, smoked tails, and tinted headlights and fogs. I'm pretty sure the stock height with rims and supercharger would be more in price range since tires and gas for that lift would end up eating all my money since i'm in high school making 8 an hour. Some pictures are in my album, i'll post some more when I get home Thanks, Brent.

Jeeeez.
Both those options can get spendy.
But keeping it stock height is best for mpgs along with keeping the tires close to stock size.

i would go leveled with 33's and 20's because if you offroad and you have 22's they might get messed up. go with a supercharger thats the way i would go and the way i am gonna go with my truck. look at my truck i have opencountry M/T with a leveling kit and 20's if you want more pics of it pm me and i will email some to you.

Yes it is a 4x4. Here are some pictures
My reason for thinking that the supercharged stock height is that if I lift it i'm going to have to regear and tires are another 400 everytime I need them. It just seems like a better desicion for me to go this way. As for if I should PTM, smoke tails, etc. and get black rims or leave it chrome and get chrome rims what does everyone think?
