Question one - whos got the best lift kit our there? Fabtech?

Question 2- how big a tire can go on a 6inch lift, 4 inch i assume 35's but how big with 6?

In my opinion, the Fabtech and RCD lifts are the two best. Most people run 35x12.50's with 4 and 6 inch lifts.

RCD are to expensive and can only go with 33' inch tires with a 4' lift.

Since you are the Truck God, is Rancho any good? Skyjacker? I was leaning to rancho for ease of install and cost, does fabtech make a 4'? ive never seen one.

I've never heard anything bad about any of those lifts. Also, Fabtech only makes a 6 inch lift for 4x4's. You really can't go wrong with any of the major brands. I'd shop around though. A lot of times distrubuters have specials on certain brands and you can find a good deal.

Well i like the rep of fabtech but there is too much open space in the fender well with 35' with 6 inches for me i think the 4inch looks more perportioned. plus if i get the rancho i can get those new shocks that came out, but im still looking and open for opinions
