6" help!!

I've got an 09 f150 screw 4wd and im looking at 6" lifts for it. I don't know what brand I should get though. I've been looking at protech but I've been told to use rough country.
I was hoping someone could help me on a decision or any suggestions on what brand to get. I'm going to have this as a daily driver since I only work 7 miles from my house. So I was thinking about changing the gears to something that would be good for wheeling and daily driving. i would like to hear some suggestions on that as well if I can. An maybe someone can point me in the right direction for tires?

If anyone has this same setup I'd like to
See some pics if possible.

Thank you

I'd look at the BDS lifts. As for tires, are you wanting an AT or MT. Most people with 6 inch lifts go with 35 inch tires. Depending on how you use your truck, 4.56 gears would probably be a good choice.

I'm definitely going w AT because itll still be a daily drive and I'll do light wheelin on weekends. I've heard of BDS but I haven't looked into them yet. Why do you recommend them over pro comp? I don't know anything about either company and I'm just looking for the best kit for my truck in the long run because I plan on keeping this truck for a long time.
Thanks for the info

THe Pro Comp is a good lift also. BDS has a better warranty however.
