    I agree, I would go with the 6 inch; however, I have heard a lot of bad things about the pro-comp lift kits. Check out BDS or Fabtech. I have the BDS and have not had a problem. Plus all of the parts for the BDS kit have a lifetime warranty.

    Definately go for the 6 inch and go with BDS, they make great 6 inch lifts that have nothing but positive reviews. When you think you'll get it done.

    Only thing I know of is the 4 inch for your truck. Check out Rough Country if you are on a budget. They have awesome deals and no sacrifice in product.

    i put a pro comp 3 inch leveling kit on the front and removed the 2 inch stock blocks and put in 4 inch blocks for 2 inches of lift. total only cost me around 250. so if your looking for a good way for cheap, and just enough to notice. its a good idea, i think anyway.
