Default Lift or Level? That is the question?

Hi all, I would like a 4" or 6" lift on my truck but was worried about ride quality as my truck is my daily driver. I started thinking about a 2 1/2" leveling kit and throwing on some 33's? Any advice or suggestions? Will either void the warranty?

Depends on your bank account and how much you're willing to spend... I had 7.5" of lift on my truck (Fabtech 6" coilover kit with a 1.5" leveling kit stacked). Coilovers are a bit more expensive, but the ride quality was better than stock... My truck was my daily driver as well

The leveling kit by itself was fine too.

Like I said, it just depends on what you're looking for and how much you are willing to shell out.

If u go with a 4 or 6 inch lift you'll be happy, these lifts nowadays have such an awesome ride quality. I have a 6" pro comp stage 2 lift & it rides great. People always compliment me on the ride & handling

As long as you go with a good quality lift, the ride should be fine (of course added height means you can't drive it like a sports car). I've never had any issues with my BDS 6".
