I'd love to have a 6" lift and 35's.... it sucks here in Maine though because on my '09 the biggest tire size I can legally put on my truck is a 285. Body lifts are forbidden (no big loss for me) and even on suspension lift legally I can only raise the thing like 2".... and the local pigs give you such a hard time. I got pulled over eight times last year because of tires, lift, exhaust, etc... But, what can ya do.

I just got back from a test drive at the local dealer with a loaded silver 09 quad cab sport 4x4. Man these are nice trucks. I love the ride, the interior everything. Not sure if I want a silver or black one. I can totally envision it with the 6-inch lift and some bad *** blacked out wheels.

BDS is coming out (if they havent already) with a 6" kit as well. looks nice. personally the stock 4x4 sits too low for my preferance anyways....but i still favor the 06-08's over the new 09's.

heres a vid of the BDS in action:

That BDS kit looks nice but I'm waiting until 11 or 12 to lift mine. Well, I'll actually wait until my factory rubbers die - then I'll upgrade.

I just want to give the aftermarket industry time to further develop and test these lifts....and I want a 4 incher. My 04 had a 6" and I want to try something different this time. More agility instead of just beef.
