Default 6" lift and Level w/ more blocks <or> 6" Lift and body lift??

Which is a better setup and why? I am currently running procomp stage II 6" lift on 37x13.5 Toyo MTs and want some extra clearance.

The rational is more lift,more clearence.N the body lift lifts up your whole truck,as for the blocks,just the rear.But i'm sure ya knew all this already.What kind of rational were ya looking for?Are you doing all this yourself?

As for rational... Yes I would be doing the work myself and with that said I know that the level is alot less work. Which leaves me torn between the HBS 2.5" Level kit and to bring the back level again another 2.5" rear block at a cost of about $110 or going with one of the many 3" Body lifts out there for a cost of about $500.

Questions I have is will the 37s look small with that much lift? I have a ProComp Drive Shaft replacement installed, will I have to replace my breaklines or anything else? The truck is geared at 3.73 will I need to regear to 4.88? I don't do alot of towing anymore but I want to be sure to retain the ability to tow if I would like to. Will the level onto of the lift do any damage to the lift or the truck? I would assume not but just looks for some insight or if anyone has either set up?

I am working on getting some pictures up as well as a thread. I have the ProComp Stage II w/ AAL in the rear and the coilovers are cranked all the way up. Originally I ran 37x12.5R20 ProComp Xtreme M/Ts w/ no trimming at all. Now I have 37x13.5R20 Toyo Open Country M/Ts and they required a little triming though I can still get them to rub when turning up inclines, thats why I am considering adding some lift.
