I am thinking @ adding a 6" suspension w/coilover. Price is not a big issue, I want to do it right the first time. 06 Screw 4x4 want to run 35x12.50x20's What should I be looking for?

It'll look real good. No reason not to if you have the money to spend. You'll probably wanna regear as well so factor another 1500-1600 to get front and rear done.

I'd suggest the Rize, RCD or Fabtech lifts.

I'd say go for it! If money isn't an issue then I'd suggest an 8" Rize. Once you lift it you'll always want to go bigger so as you say you'll want to do it right the first time. If you go with an 8" lift then you'll probably want to go with bigger tires because 35's will look small and if you do that then you most certainly need to regear as attworth stated. If you stick with a 6" lift and 35's then regearing is optional, although alot of us go ahead and do it. It all comes down to your budget and how much you're willing to spend.

Do you get that nose up/pre-runner look from the Rize like some of the other lifts wind up looking?

Most lifts I've seen on here do that. Simple solution is either bigger blocks, AAL, or a custom set of rear springs from someone like Deaver

The coilovers should give you control over nose up or down, by adjusting them. I personally prefer the tail up a little (load it and it's level). Running a 6" SkyJacker, very happy with it. It's a stock style coil over setup. 6" front lift, 4" springs in back. Leaves me about an inch nose down.

I know a little about Road Armor - very heavy and very heavy duty. Great choice.

Question

Is the weight of Road Armor bumper too much for the front end once the lift is installed?

I would think it wouldn't be a problem with the adjustable coilovers. Just crank them up a little more and it will even it out
