tough decision

Okay. Been researching. Im stuck between the rough country 4 inch lift and 6 inch lift. Pros and cons:
4"ros: dont have to listen to mom complain as much when she has to ride with me.
Might still be able to squeeze into some parking garages.
My suspension wont wear out as fast as a 6.
Will look good with my almost new 33x10.50(im not shellin out 1500 bucks on new wheels and tires)
Cons: i want my truck to be one of the biggest in my area.
If i decided to go with 36-37 inch tires in the future theyll probably be squeezed in there
6"ros: mom will refuse to try to get in.
Pure badass
Cons: its pretty much useless now for a light work truck.

I know they say bigger is better. But idk. On one hand if i get the fourand want bigger i could only afford a body lift, and i want strength on my front bumper and dont really wanna screw with that. But on the other, if i get a six. And its to big, im stuck with it. Tell me what u guys think.1995 f150 supercab long bed. Oh, and its literally 30 dollars difference.

Get the 6" lift but you can keep it mild for as long as you can stand it! Seriously, keep the 33's on there and keep the rear level. I am sure when you need new rubber your thoughts of keeping it mild will probably change! BTW, keep a step stool in your truck just in case you need to give your mom a ride...my mom couldn't get in and out of mine without one!!

You will be able to do the same thing with a 6" as a 4". 6" is really not that high. And if I recall a few guys saying that there 4" is actually more than 4" lifts. If you want to be the highest or close to it then you will need 8" and 37's. 37s have become the new 35's.

Invest in some AMP steps. It's one of the best things I ever put on a truck.
