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.

Now you'll get pulled over just so they can look at your awesome truck

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.
