    Its either stock suspension(struts&coils) and a 6" spacer or a full length Coilover made for a 6" DB lift.

    you won't get any extra travel, you're still using stock control arms and are still limited by both

    but you'll get a better ride

    If it were me I'd avoid pro comp coilovers.. I'd go with the basic kit and then buy 6" Icon, fox or king coilovers.

    But it sounds like it would b cheaper to upgrade to pro comp coilovers for only 950 more vs 1400 ish

    Really appreciate your input.we are over budget by about a 1000$..we want the best but it may not be possible. This truck won't see any really heavy four wheeling for quite awhile

    I personally wouldnt get a 6 inch lift while still IFS, but to each their own. Fox coilovers are going to be way better than pro comp. You want to buy just once, so making the right choices is crucial. Also keep in mind that for the 35s you will have to regear, or you will be really slow/loose mileage.

    I have the procomp coilovers, got it cause they were adjustable, but didn't know they weren't rebuildable. Going to order some Icons eventually. Your truck is still new, so if you're going 6", I would order the stage 1 and save the $950 to buy some Icons or Kings later.
