Don't forget the BDS lift kit too. I hear nothing but awesome review of it. That's the kit (w/ leafs instead of blocks) I'm currently looking into for my 6+3.

And if you really want height, do what Cashel and I did, go 6" suspension and a 3" body which gives you clearance for up a 38" tire (with trimming). There is not a thing wrong with BLs, as long as you are not driving like an idiot. Normal everyday driving and off roading is not going to hurt these lifts. Now if you go over a 35, you will have to invest in a set of 4.56 or 4.88 gears. Aight enough talking here is the pic of mine. 6" Fabtech, 3" BL, 38" tires, and 4.56 gears front and rear. Mine measures 7' 2" tall at it's tallest point.

Me and the truck on the day I picked it up from being lifted.


The truck as she sits right now.

I love your truck man! Definitely needs to be in a TOTM competition.
