Best 4" lift kit???

Have a 2008 4x4 supercrew 5.4L with 3.73 LSD ... Want to put 35" tires. What would be the best 4" lift kit out? Or is it the same price to just do a 6" lift... and what would be the best and cheapest lift for 6"?

I would also need to regear... what gears would i need for 33" tires, and 35" tires? i have the 3.73 gears now.

thanks in advance

prices are pretty much the same for the 4" and the 6" so my advice would be to get either the RCD 6" or the Fabtech 6" lift and some 35's, and with 35's you would wanna get some 4.56 gears

you wont NEED new gears. plenty of people are running 35s with stock gearing

If you're going to get a 6" lift I'd go with Fabtech - the 6" RCD lift is a 4.5" lift that uses a leveling shock to gain the extra 1.5" creating angles on your ball joints just like having a 1.5" leveling kit.

I'd recommend Rancho 4" or RCD 4.5" kit if you don't get a 6".

You'll be fine not re-gearing with 33's and it's not too bad with 35's. I'm on 35's and am still using stock 3.73's.
