I'd love to go bigger, but at 4" of lift and 35's I already find that using my truck around the farm when I'm up there hunting/fishing/ATV'ng or just doing maintenance around the place is already at my upper limits of pulling the ATV in the bed, and putting heavy loads like cut wood from a cleared tree in it.
IMO even 6" is just too much for a truck that you need to use as a truck. No question that 6" and 8" or more of lift looks killer though...

sounds like a personal problem...
but seriously, i guess i misunderstood your post. there is no way hauling an atv over some rough terrain is even difficult for your truck with 4". My 6" doesnt sweat at all pulling stupid heavy loads or doing stuff off the beaten path. What exactly is strained for you - the suspension or power? either way, sounds like the only fix is more mods!!!

I'm not worried about loading the truck, the only reason I would lift the truck is to take it wheeling. Because the truck is so long I'd like more clearance and the only clearance gain you get with a body lift is the inch or so you get from bigger tires. Has anyone ever heard of full throttle suspension lifts and their quality?
