Default Lifting My Truck

I made up my mind finally and im going with a full lift instead of a level when i get my taxes back and i want atleast 6" to show that my v6 isnt as small as it sounds . I can go with the RC 6" lift or save a few bucks and go RC 3" with a 3" PA body lift. But the problem with doing the body lift is that i have to make new brakets for my bullbar or just leave it off witch i dont have to. Should i just spend the extra money and go with the full 6"RC? And how hard is it to put on a PA budy lift?

If your comfortable doing a 3" lift then a 6" shouldn't be an issue. Take your time and grab a buddy and you'll do fine.

Right do the 6" suspension lift. If you have grinders and a welder to fab brackets for your bullbar and to raise the bumper then by all means go for it. It's a real PITA to get the body lines to match up after a body lift. I think you'd be much happier performance wise with a full suspension lift.

I say go with the 3" suspension, then put on bigger tires on and go from there.

If you don't get bigger tires with a lift it'll look silly in my opinion.
