    Well it all depends. You can get an entry level 3" kit, suspension lift, for around $700, OME. I suggest getting new UCA's as weel, LR's are around $400. So around $1100 entry level 3" without installation. There are 2 6" kits for our trucks, Pro Comp and Fabtech. Both have been pushed hard on certain trucks with out failure. Some will say Fabtech is better. A lot dont recomend these because they are a drop bracket which will keep the front crossmember the same height. You also have to cut the crossmember, which will make it a little difficult if you want to go back to stock. If you go 6" I recomend, as would everyone else, going with a coilover lift, it will make it a better lift. Pro Comp is around $2500 for the stage 2, and Fabtech starts around $2800 I think, for the performance. Search the forum for 6" lifts, or Pro comp, or fabtech and you will find a lot of info. Krookz has the Fabtech lift and loves it. Silverseven had the PRo Comp stage 2 on his truck for a while and beat the shit out of it. Took it off to go SAS. Hope this helps.

    As far as tires, either way you go you will get an over abundance of rubbing. I am a fan of the 6" with 33's look. But both are good looking.

    I think 33's are a better choice if ur gonna do some flexin! cause they will tuck all the way in the fender without rubbing and only minor trimming! u will probably hafta do some serious surgery to get the 35's to clear ur cab mounts!

    IMO, like SHIT. Absolutely pointless to lift that much and run stock size tires. I like the other way, as big a tire on as little lift as possible.

    Could one of you with 6" and 33's tell me what your roof height is? I'm desperately trying to get the measurements so I can give the go ahead on this combo with my truck back in the states. Shipping it too Africa and need to make sure I dont go oversized. Any help would be huge.

    It was some dude that did a group buy and then screwed over a ton of people. There are a ton of different venders out there that make them. Check out relentless, all pro, demello, and I'm sure there are many more out there.

    Do you have trundle staying in final gear with those tires? I have a 2016 and at 75 at the slightest bit of an end line it Wong stay in 6th gear these are 285/70/R17s by the way so almost 33's
