6".

You'll be kickin yourself in the **** if you do the 4".

BDS and Zone are great brands to look at. Bang for the buck is the Zone, the BDS is little more pricey. How big do you wanna go? What size tires you want to run? With either kit the 4" or basic 6" they give you 3in of lift springs for the rear which is better than other lifts. if your looking for a bigger look you could go the 6" lift with 5in coils in back.

When the time comes for me to buy I am going with the Zone 4" with 3in rear coils, Zone's UCAs and Bils set at 2.1 in the front which will give about 6" of lift and look Level. I plan on running 35s. The 4" is a little cheaper than the 6"/3" so I can throw the extra cash into getting Bils for a better ride up front and still end up with the height of the 6" lift.

He said spindles, implying he was 2wd, also that truck looks 2wd if I had to guess... IF by chance you are 4wd, this information still applies. The 4wd trucks aren't much taller, not enough to matter here.

Theres plenty of threads. but this black reg cab is a good direct comparison and has stages.

Personal opinion, if you are 2wd, just get the maxtrac spindles and have a basically stock front suspension for ride/maintenance purposes. Theres a different black reg cab with maxtrac 4.5/3 on 35s. Its super nice. I don't remember his name.

EDIT: im being very generous because its Friday...

your call on 1.5/3 in the rear, generally the 3 looks better IMO.

Bogsram14- yea I was looking at the bds lift their not that bad, I was looking to try and use the tires I got on there now.. I dont know though 33's might not look all that good on a 4 or 6 inch lift..

Silversurfer15- appreciate it man yea that's what I'm looking for!! That's not bad looking at all, I'm probably gonna go ahead and get the maxtrac, the only thing is do u think I might need to get bigger tires? These ones are brand new and I don't want it to look stupid..

OP... are you 2wd or 4wd? I mean you can pick a height, but if you are 2wd they're only two options, one really when you consider the second is the same thing and cost more lol. No offense to you CST peeps.

If you are 4wd, you have a barrage of options.
