If you only plan on 32s then definitely 4"..but even that might look small..I ran 33s stock. And usually, you ways end up wanting more lift. I started at 2", ended up with 10"

Ya I definitely say skip the 4 and go to 6. And if you want to be fancy you can also get bilsteins up front with the fox in the back

I concur, just go 6. And you'll probably be happier longer. I have a level now. It was good for about a year. I've been wanting a lift since then. I'll hopefully have one in about 8 months or so.

well the bds kit has an option to order the 2.0 fox rear shocks. as for the front, i just want my truck to be lifted, with a good quality and have good suspension i'm partial to Fox racing, thats all i used on my mountain bikes because of their toughness and quality there, i'm not sure about changing my front shocks or what costs are involved. i work at a dealer and even my cost is crazy expensive compared to the online prices.

I went with ZONE offroad which is a sister company of BDS. I did the BDS FOX 2.0s in the rear and the FOX 2.0 adjustable coilovers with the ZONE 6" spacer on top.

Only reason I think ill start with the level and then go into the lift, is for stages. If I get the $200 level, I don't need to rush the tires. Then I can get the 35s with the level and be fine for a while. Then I can buy the 6 inch lift and so on. Dont have to spend mass amount of money at once this way and have more cash to do all the small things in between ;D

These are about $430-$450 each but go with a vendor like @stage3motorsports
and you can always find a deal. And with the coilovers I can crank the front back up and add an add a leaf in the rear and be sitting at 8". Also the BDS FOX 2.0 rears are compatible up to 8".

Here's my Rough Country 4" lift with 33's. I love the look myself. My tires are only 4 ply so they provide a really nice ride also. I'm very happy with my setup.
