Default Nerf bars with body lift?

OK, so I need some opinions. I have a ram with 6" suspension and 3" body. I want to get some black nerf bars so my GF stops complaining about getting in the truck, do any of you have nerfs with a body lift? I dont want the damn things to hang down really low and look like garbage, is there anyway I can tuck them so they are only a few inches lower than the body of the truck? If I remember right, most nerf's just mount into the body mount locations, using longer bolts. Will I need super extra long bolts then too b/c of the spacers from the PA body lift? Too much junk just for nerf bars I think. Anyone running them with a pic?

I can show you some pics of mine with them set as they originally were before the BL. As you can see they, can be left alone or new holes drilled in the brackets and raised. It just depends on what you like. And the bolts that come with the PA BL are fine. You wont need longer.

For a little more coinage, you could do the Nfab Dominator bars, they look sick on a lifted truck. I've got black Westin bars and will eventually switch to the Nfab's once I get a lift on.
