I have 34s with a lvl right now I think the 34s will look good with the 6 inch for now then step it up to the bl with 37s or 38s

I agree with all above. Cover the frame with side step bars, and get gap guards to fill the gap in the wheel wells. Check my pics in my signature.

I actually looked into prerunners and most of them say they will work with a body lift. And here's a pic of mine with brackets for the grill guard to fit with the body lift:





crappy pics but you get the idea... I also mounted a winch up under there... I need to take photos of that... well shoot, these will work I guess:
