    I like the way your truck looks now so I voted stay with the 3 inch. Nice looking truck.

    I voted 3", your truck is sick as is. But on the other hand a 6" could look pretty cool. If you stayed with the three you would have a lot of money to do other cool mods though. In the end its your decision. Good Luck!:D

    I would spend any extra money you have on really making a "true show truck", with more then just basic Westin bolt on parts or normal off the shelf extras...:cool:

    it will never be a "true show truck" being a daily driver and myself already having a true show vehicle sitting in my garage now being stripped down and being fully redone. It will always be in the mild modded classes vs my other vehicle which would be in the wild to radical categories.

    I am not a big fan of 6" lift like the pro comp or fabtech lifts. If you go with a taller lift then you might as well SAS your taco..
