Are you planning on doing this work yourself?
Don't forget little things like the alignment, re-gearing + upgrading your braking to handle the bigger wheels & tires, new bands & cradles for your TPMS, and re-calibrating your PCM for speedometer & odometer accuracy.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of stacking a leveling kit on top of a lift kit. I feel that if you've already got a 6" lift, then you're wasting your time & money for the extra 2 inches. But if you must, a body lift with your current set-up should do the trick if you just want to cram some bigger tires under there.
But if you can afford it, then do the job right. Go for the 12" Rize kit. Save your money. Get the kit first. Then save more money for your bigger tires. Hopefully, by the time you wear out what you're driving on now, you'll have the money for the new tires.

Your truck looks siccckk bro. Your skid plate and exhaust are definitely two things that I seen on your truck that I haven't seen on others I've looked at. I've got your grenade too! Nice look man.
