Which suspension lift should I go with?
I have been going back and forth on which suspension lift kit to go with. I am stuck between 4" or 6". 4" with 35s would be more practical, but 6" with 37s looks badass! Everyone I've talked to says if you are indecisive, go big or go home. I am currently looking at Rough Country, BDS, Fabtech, Zone, and McGaughys. All have 4 or 6" options except for the McGaughys and maybe Zone, I can't remember. Can anyone share pros and cons about the above kits?
Any and all information is helpful. Here is a picture of my truck now. It has a 2" Hell Bent level with 275/70R18 BFG Rugged Terrains. I have also attached a picture I borrowed from Stage3motorsports.com that is a 2012 Eco with the Zone 6" Kit with 37x12.50R20s Mickey Thompsons on 20x9 Fuel wheels. I LOVE the stance!!!

I have the rancho 4 and it is probably tge highest quality 4 inch. I think the fabtech is comparable. But the rancho actually gave me 5" in the front and looks great. And if you decide you want six you can akways call rancho and just swap out drop spindles

I love how everyone will sway you one way or another on a lift. Absolutely nothing wrong with an rcx lift. Many forum members on here including myself run them without issues. I did opt to upgrade my shocks though. I'll also be going to coils in the front and changing the leafs out in the rear. Is this needed? Not at all, but I'm looking for a little more performance out of my suspension now. Personally, I've run procomp and Fabtech products in the past and had them fail so for that alone I do not use them.
As far as the lift size... Just do the 6. You know you want to. Bds, rancho, rcx are all great options. Here's a few pics of mine. It's even a 157wb to give you an idea.

RCX are good. Not great. They are a budget lift. Spacers, not as beefy spindles.
1. Rancho, BDS, Zone
2. Fabtech, RCX
3. Pro Comp
List of quality. I would of went with RCX but I wanted to run 17s and I like the fact that Rancho welds their cross members together.

I'm 6'5 have the Rancho 4in with 33s and 17s and I can still reach in the back of my truck no problem. I just lift a cheek to get in my truck. I want to take off my running boards eventually and get some AMP Steps.
