Which way to go?

Hello,
I have an 05 Scab and its pretty much stock right now. I am thinking of a lift for it but I am a little confuzzeled about which way to go. I read that with a 2.5 as and an aal I can fit 35s on stock rims, and no rubbing. And I am also thinking of going with a Rize 6 inch, I know its more expensive, but are there any benefits of doing either? And I havent been able to find prices online, about how much would I have in a rize 6 inch?
Thanks,
Chris

the spacer/aal route is MUCH cheaper. however the suspension lift is much better for your truck, keeps the stock angles and allows for full travel, where the spacer lift limits travel and puts stress on the upper control arms. your tires might rub too. also with the suspension lift you will be higher up, be able to fit those tires without rubbing (even with most aftermarket rims), and your truck will sit level. but the suspension lift is more expensive. the rize lift is a little more expensive then the other lifts (i believe?). you may also want to consider the fabtech lift.

Thanks. I will check on the fabtech. And what kind of gears do you think?
Thanks,
Chris

gears depend on your tire size. most people would suggest 4.56 for 35" tires and 4.10 for 33s (although if you have stock 3.73, it would probably be ok with 33s)
