    Superlift has served many of my friends greatly with their trucks and they all got 6 inch lifts. Fabtech has also shown good results with some guys I know.

    BDS BDS BDS...then Fabtech a close second.

    I know that 35s will rub with Pro Comp, b/c I had it on b4 my BDS lift. I have no rub with BDS' kit.

    With a 6 inch its really tough to stay under 1000 bucks. Maybe check out rough country lifts, they tend to run a bit lower.

    Research them all and remember "You get what you pay for". There are many lifts out there and even similar by design, they all have pro's and con's. One big issue I have read about the Fabtech is how much further the front wheels stick out compared to other lifts. Do your homework before buying.

    Cool 6inchlift

    Most have there pros and cons. BDS has new non-lower torsen bar kit with the lower subframe arched for more clearence, but bolts together. Tuff Country and Rancho have welded lower subframes, but lower the torsen bars. Skyjacker is only company that addresses the 1500s offset front differential (without the offset the drivers side inner cv joint brakes under hard offroading). With Trailmaster and Superlift we had to many fit and quality issues. Do your homework and choose whats important to you and how you use your truck.
