Go 6... you'll regret it if you dont, and the truck will still be usable.

Definitely figure out why you are considering either first and make your decision from there. Weigh the pros and cons as they fit you. The lift is one of those mods you don't want to go wrong on the first time around.

Most of the guys with the 4” lifts have added Bilsteins cranked up to get approx 6” front lift. With a 6” lift you don’t need Bilsteins cranked up to get 6”.

If your on the fence and think 6” is too much, just get the Zone or BDS 6” kit with 3” rear coils, leave out the 5/8” strut preload spacer and run factory struts. This will give you about 5” front lift, smooth ride, flat CV angles and you won’t need $200 Bilsteins or new UCA’s

Well, it's lifted if you consider the Bilsteins a "lift" Bils at 2.8, TGC 1.5" rear coil spacer. stock wheels and tires, for now.

This is exactly what I want to do! What kind of MPG loss did you get with this configuration? Did the change in geometry throw handling off? Pros / Cons?

I didn't lose any with this. The handling is better than stock, imo. I did have it aligned after the bils went in.

You can get em on the wheel, but factory wheels don't have enough offset ... You'll need wheel spacers

Any idea what size spacers are just enough to give the room needed?
