Default Lift kit or Wheels?

My dad is considering letting me cash in a few savings bonds i have. At first i was going to get some 18" xd monsters wrapped in some nitto Trail grapplers, but i started to think, i could get a lift kit with this $ too. If it matters i have stock 18"s w/ nitto terra grapplers now. What do y'all think? Should i get a 6" lift kit? Or wheels in tires?

Well you won't be able to clear 35s without a lift so I say lift now and then wheels and tires shortly after so maybe hold off a little til you are almost able to buy it all

Are you keeping the truck than? I also vote lift! it'll be easier to convince him to help get bigger tires when he sees how silly the stock wheels look haha

Haha yeah i found one i like but i think its going to be too much of a difference not in my favor. And im for a lift too but i want wheels too. Im thinkin i can go with a lift then get 35s on the stock wheels, put the lift on and save up for wheels. If i get the wheels and tires first i can only fit 33s so when i fet 35s for the lift those 33s will go to waste. Uggg!!!!!! Idk what to do!
