    Use the same decision method you did to pick a 6" lift.

    And start shopping for an installer of your new gear sets.

    Only reason for a 6” lift is 35” rubber. You can easily fit 33” rubber without a drop bracket. Gears aren’t necessary but should be considered. Say bye bye to 6th gear.

    I'm on 3inchs of lift with icons and a 1 inch body lift and had to trim a lot- 1.5 inches out of front fenders and a big ass CMC (then hammering the replated part) and completely flattening the pinch weld. If you don't flex it out it, won't be so bad on the fenders and pinchweld, but the cab mount is going to be a prob no matter what.

    Yes

    Cab mount chop.
    Trimmed the lowest edge of the fender liner and flare for added precaution.
    Heat gunned the fender liner to move it all back a bit.

    I didn’t even think about using a heat gun. I’ll definitely try that

    Keep in mind that you want the tires to clear at full compression.

    If it's just a street queen then my comment bares less weight.
