Default Decided I'm not installing my 6" lift

Rushed into buying a 6" lift kit over a year and half ago I had a coupon so I jumped on it. After I bought it I realized I would need new rims and would cost a lot more then originally thought. Saved more money for tires and rims and now that I have the money for tires I'm not excited anymore to put all this money into the truck. I wish I got the 4" lift so I could keep stick rims and get 33s. I have the extended can with 8ft bed so 6" with 33s looks stupid IMO. Anyone wanna trade a 4" for 6" or buy it?

Could always just buy the 4" lift coils for up front and use them instead of the 6" if you don't mind the rear sitting a bit higher.

There should be 2 sets of holes. Bottom are for 6" lift; 2 inches above these should be the second set of holes for 4" lift. Just need 4" lift springs.

Did I miss what kind of lift the OP bought? It might not have the option for a 4" or 6". Could be wrong, but just sayin. I know my RC lift has the option.

A 6" would have room to drill the 4" holes even if they weren't there.

Why wouldn't you be able to use the stock rims with the 6"?
