    I am not sure what a good 6 inch lift would be any recommendations. I need it to come with some type of warranty and be a smooth riding lift and it needs to be able to support my arb front bumper when I but it on and should I get a regular lift or a coil over kit I don’t use it to go Offroad I use it for truck meets and to look badass any suggestions would be great

    6” BDS Stage 2 is what you want.
    Drop bracket of course and with Fox’s 2.5” remote reservoir coilovers.

    I have their stage 1 kit and I’m pretty happy as I rarely leave the pavement for anything more than fire roads.

    I appreciate your candor about not going offroad. Too many guys try to build a truck to "offroad" and it just stays shiny and a pavement queen.

    You can get 6" lift easy without any frame modifications if your truck is 2wd

    So there aren’t any options for the 6inch for 4wd with no frame mods

    I don't think you gain much in ground clearance over a 3 inch lift with these drop bracket lifts.

    I may be wrong...But I dont think so.

    Something like a 3" suspension lift + body lift maybe

    But going over 1" on body lifts is sort of taboo around here

    Probably because you have to cut the frame, and you really aren't gaining much in ground clearance over a 3 inch lift.

    For sure. But the availability to clear a big tire is a huge plus.

    Besides, if its not a rock crawler and you want 6" lift...DB is perfect

    It is not as easily reversed as a standard suspension lift

    Oh okay so it doesn’t mess with the structural integrity or anything or make it collapse easier in accidents?

    I mean, it's gonna void the warranty for sure.
