What is the truck going to be used for? Keep in mind lifting not only changes handling, bit it will also wear parts faster. Due to the larger tires.

Heres my suggestions (this is assuming its 4wd):

If your main usage is on road and rare occasion off road and want it to just look good then id go with a 4.5" Rough Country lift on 35" AT's. ( a few mods wouldnt hurt to help push the tires)

If you actually use your truck to go off road quite a bit then I would go 6" lift on 35" MT's or 37" MT's. (just remember any tires bigger then 35" I would highly suggest regearing and adding some mods to help push them.

thats just my opinion
