yeah, thats true... cause I dont think my dad would like me to do work on the truck, considering how my exhaust project ended up :P went thru two flowmasters putting it on myself... gave up and had a muffler shop do it for me, lol.

 

I think you should go with a supension lift. Reason being is i started with a spacer and wanted more. Yes a suspension lift is more expensive, but you will save money in the long run.
Also, if you really are going to be doing serious offroading you will have a lot less flex or wheel travel with a spacer.

Over the last year 4wheelparts has had sales on procomp 6" lifts, up to 20%.
