you can go with a 6'' for being definitly noticed.
a 4'' for not obnoxious.
or a 2'' or 2.5'' leveling kit for a raise in the front, be able to fit bigger tires and still look better than stock.
dont know about brands tho, not up on that info, just know of the names fabtech, procomp, n rancho.

Sorry about that, just added a gallery. Don't have any good pictures here at the office, I'll add some more tonight when I get home. Untill then, this should at least give you an idea of what it looks like.

Definitely a 6" Fabtech. They are one of the most dominate in the industry for 6" lifts on our trucks. I have it and I love it. A buddy of mine got the Pro Comp which is a little less expensive but everyday he says he wishes he got the Fabtech instead.

I wouldnt go with Fabtech. I'm probalbly the only one on here too. All I have heard from people who have fabtech kits is that they are not what they expected performance-wise at all. They are probalbly the most expensive and you aren't going to go jump the truck or prerun the desert so its wasted money.
If you want asthetics, go with pro comp or skyjacker. Tuff Country would be good too. Rancho is a good company, but I have found that they dont make different size lifts, they just say, "heres a lift" and 33" tires are recommended, but you can fit up to 35s. Their lifts are usually 4" ones.

i would be another that wouldnt go fabtech 
i have a 6" BDS lift, and can send you to a relativly close shop for the work aswell. i have no complaints about the BDS at all...and i think its one of the nicer looking lifts.
the only thing with the BDS is it is one of the higher priced brands...dunno how much your lookin to spend
