Photoshop request. lift?

Can someone do me a huge favor and do a quick photoshop.

I'm debating hard about a 6" lift but worried the tires will be a little small and I won't be buying new ones anytime soon. They are a little under 34" on the truck. Plus the $1800 lift is keeping me from pulling the trigger. I parked next to an 09 crew with a 4" on 33" Nitto Terra's yesterday and the height difference was so small I can't talk myself into buying a 4".

Also I also considered a 3" body lift for some more height.

Either lift would be purely for cosmetic reasons as the truck is not going to be a hardcore offroader. THANKS

Not sure what angle would work the best so here is a couple pics.

What size rims do you have or the size of those lights, I can get the look pretty close if I can get a sense of scale.

Bumping this to the top. The Rough Country 6" is getting more tempting by the second.

Haha, almost finished but that looks alot like mine but I had it a tad higher.

Should post a side picture, easier to do if that doesn't give you a good forcast of what it will look like.

*waves hand and uses the force* "it is a good idea. You will lift it soon. move along."

Actually, if you want to do it and can afford it, do it. If you like driving other lifted trucks, you'll enjoy it. But you'll likely never regain your gas milage, and you'll have to spend more $$$ to be able to tow as much as you do now. just a friendly sanity check

Ha thanks for the swift kick of sanity.

I'm leaning towards yes, and you're right, eventually its going to be lifted anyway. Gas mileage already sucks and I don't tow anything big enough to matter. So I guess I need someone to push the "check out" on the online cart for me.

Now, rough country is 1500 with shipping. Any REAL difference between thatt and other standard drop diff lifts?

lol I'm still concerned that the tires are going to look too small.

I've convinced myself that I want/need the lift but would hate to ruin the look with tires that look too small.
