Default Lift vs Level?

I am looking into a 2.5" level kit for my truck. However, I would prefer a 4" or 6" lift but not sure of the lack of ride quality or if it will lack performance or EPA? The look is great on a lift but I don't want to sacrifice performance. Any thoughts?

Many threads on this, I have a 6" lift & ride quality is awesome. Lift kits are extremely better than years past. Always get compliments how my truck rides & handles. Just get a lift kit cuz u will be disappointed.

I think you helped me make up my kind...I think I'll just save up and get a 6" lift in the spring. Thank you and your truck looks awesome.

What the average cost for a 6" lift? I'm from the Pittsburgh area so nothing comes as a package lol. If I go 6" I'm probably looking at $2500 just for the install plus the cost of larger rims and tires? Is this fairly accurate?

To MikeFresno...Always nice to meet another fellow Steeler fan...Not sure what's up with the D though but I'm sure they will pull it together.
