Difference between 4" lift and 6" lift extended radius arms

Hey I was just wondering if anyone knew of the difference if any, of what the extended radius arms are the 4" and 6" lifts, I just got a 4" and would like to go to a 6" in the future but would rather not replace arms. thanks.

Why did you buy a 4" lift if you knew you wanted 6"? That usually occurs to people later down the line, not 2 days later. Return it and get a 6" if it isn't already on the truck?

I have a Pro Comp Stage 2 4" lift, so and I figured if anything I could get a 2" drop bracket if I wanted but was just wondering it already has the drop down brackets (for the ttb axle) that are 4" and 6" lifts but I figured all I would need is to get rid of the stock block and put in an add-a-leaf, new coils, but was just wondering what the difference in radius arm was if anyone knew. I tried emailing the company, but no reply. for now I just wanted something to fit 35s and im already going to make a front bumper for it so there won't be any rubbing issues.
I didn't want the 6" because I got a deal for the dealers price on the lift and I didn't really want to spend the extra money on longer drivelines.

Junior as in high school and it rides tons better now, way smoother, I am happy with the way it looks. Im probably gunna build a bumper for my senior project. And the clear headlights are great tons better than stock if you get them aimed at the write position especially the ones I got (Spyder euro with led) and I just got the clear bottoms and the blinkers almost hurt our eyes to look at, in daylight haha If anyone has any questions about the install and taking off old lights feel free to ask cause Ive done it quite a bit now. I found that just using vicescripts and wire works great for taking off the headlight clips, instead of the stupid videos you see on youtube.
