I was considering doing a body lift and a level at first. After much thought I plan on getting the 6" BDS kit for my 04. I've heard many good things about the kit and it also gives me the option to bump up to there 8" kit with ease. Best of luck with whatever you end up doing!

6" suspension all the way! get the stock front end geomety back! Just went down that road of wearing out parts in the front end due to the leveling kit (I am rather rough on my truck though). I have a 2" leveling kit and a 3" body with 33's now, but am pulling the leveling kit off and putting a 4" suspension and running 37's with 4.56 gears!!! I know I'm sure someone will say why not spend 100 more and get the 6" suspension... I dont want to go that big, I'd want to run 38's if I did and that means more money and more rolling mass...
As it sits now...

so now that tax season is here im debating on lifting my truck a little more, right now ive got a 2.5'' leveling kit and 1 inch rear block, i do get rubbing when off roading and had to do some minor triming. im debating between adding a body lift so id have 5.5'' in front and 4 rear with the 35s (which i wanna keep dont wanna upgrade to 37s cuz truck handles the 35s great and dont wanna kill my mpg anymore than i already did haha) or adding a 6'' lift with the leveling kit and then doing atllas aal for the rear.. anyone have pictures of either setup with 35s so i can get an idea of how the spacing in the wheelwells would be. thanks and here is a picture of it as it sits now. 2.5 level 1 inch rear block with 35x12.5x18 grapplers on 18x9 dick cepek dc-2

good looking truck man. i like it how it sits now.
if youve got the change for the suspension go for it! 6" and 35s will be fine. they wont look too small IMO.
if you are thinking of stacking the two lifts on top of each other i would go with the body lift first. itll be a pain in the *** to lift the body after you put a 6" lift on it. 9" of lift seems a tad high for 35s though lol.
ive got a 3" body lift with 35s, im thinking about getting a 4.5" RCX lift with tax money if i can swing it. just not sure how its going to look with 35s.

Thanks. You were correct about the BL being hard to install with a 6" lift. The guy who installed mine said it took 2 days! And installing lifts is all he does! If I had to do it again, I'd just do an 8" Rize.

just curious what you paid for the body lift installation.
