Personally, I'd go with a lift. But I don't have to worry about parking, or any of that, so a lift would be my vote. Plus, you've never heard anybody say "look at that truck with the cool wrap and stock suspension" But how many times have you heard " look at that bad *** truck with the lift" ? Just my opinion. You've got a bad *** truck already. Lift it and make it killer.

Agreed. Lifting would be the way to go. If you keep it at a 6 inch lift you'll be able to get into some parking garages. Like mines not going to get much bigger if it does at all. It will however get much much louder. The lift will make it stand out much more tho

I opted to lift and park on the other side of campus in a lot versus not lifting and parking right next to all my classes in a garage . . . haha just lift it.

I agree with going lift also. The amount of looks of a lifted truck will far out weigh the looks with new vinyl lol
That's why I'm saving for lift then I'll vinyl the bottom half of the truck and bumpers probably

Yeah I'm leaning towards the lift now. I've always wanted to lift it. But a matte black wrap would be pretty unique

It feels so weird to post this inside your thread, Jason, but I know you guys want to see it haha.

6" Fabtech, 2" AS level, 5 " Fabtech blocks, 20x10 Fuel Mavericks, 35x12.5" Trail Grapplers.

I'm super happy with how it came out. 8" up front with 5" blocks and the rear is still 2.5" lower somehow, but other than that I freakin love it! The tires still out exactly as much as I wanted them, it's taller than I was expecting, it drives great, tracks straight, UCA angles are fine, LOVE it.
