So the 33s wouldn't look bad for now? Yea a big truck dealership gave me out the door rough country 6" kit $2150. That's a good deal.

Seems like a good deal. Only really familiar with Fabtech since that's what I have. I could post a pic of my truck when it had only 6" lift and 33"s... If I could find it.

Well with the 35's you would run into the problem of possibly having to re-gear. You could even do the lift with the 33's and have some massive flex room

Personally, I'd stick with 33"s with a 6" lift. Lot of guys want to go as big as possible for their lift (35"s)... but as I said, you may need to trim so they don't rub.
That's why I added the 3" body lift too. 35"s with no trimming... Even though I could easily fit 37"s.

Well the most I'm doing is 6" lift. All I've heard is you do 35s and anything less is too small. So at least time being the 33s would work fine.

That's kinda my point.... they say you can go 35"s with a 6" lift, but I wouldn't. 33"s will look and ride better. Good luck.

Sounds good. I just didn't want them to look like donuts on there.

I by far personally love a 4" full suspension lift. 6" feels to be way too much and in my opinion "douchy." Yes that is being stereotypical and I don't know the person driving the vehicle but I'm entitled to my opinion. Not to mention the wheel wells will look more full with only 4" of lift as opposed to six.
