6" suspension and shocks??

The camburg kit is really nice, but make sure you pic your wheels and tires out in advance. The kit is designed to run certain setups only and a lot of the wider and bigger setups won't work and contact the much larger ball joint.

I think I've decided to go with the BDS, now I just can't decide between the $2500 icon set up or $2800 camburg. The rims are going to be 20x10 moto metal with -18 offset or Would I need a 20x9 w/ -12 offset to work with the camburg/icon upper c arms. Tires will be 35x12.50 mud graps. Thanks for the help so far everyone!

If you do get the Camburg or Icon setup you should definitely go to 37" tires. Just my opinion, but 35's will look small. Especially if you raise the front an additional inch or two. I have just the 6" BDS and 37's. But if I had the money I think I would go with the Camburg kit.
Keep in mind you may need new gears also. I went with 4.88 gears and I love the way the truck drives. Good amount of throttle response, no lag. Either way you go post some pictures of the finished product!

I'm running a Pro-Comp 6" with the Stage 2 Coil Overs and an Add a Leaf... I have 35" Toyo Tires and there is a tiny bit of rubbing if I have the wheels turned all the way, just need to trim a little bit of plastic. I like the ride quality of the Pro Comp and have heard that it is way better than the Stage 1... I dealt with Jason Korson at Signature Performance Tire and Wheel, jason@signatureptw.com .. He was awesome to deal with for everything Off Road related.

Here's a 6" bds with the icon coilover set up on 35's and 18's. Doesn't look too bad imo.

Even running the 6.2 I would hope you could better than 8-10 mpg! I got the little 4.6 and get 13-14 in the city. Very little highway.
I'm not trying to tell you or push you to do anything. Your truck your money.
My 37's do rub on the plastic even after trimming. But it's not enough to worry about or worth me trimming more. I would like to get some new coil overs just to level out the front. I don't ever haul anything, so I'm not too worried with sag.
I agree with you about that black truck, looks real good. But, IMO, 37's would look better.
Ohh, another thing.. If you go with the BDS kit and do get some Icons or Kings or whatever.. I would be interested in which one you get, the part numbers, and maybe a price if you don't mind. Thanks!!

I think i'll do the BDS, Camburg cranked just so it sits level, 35" graps on the 20" moto metal 951's. If anything i'll just get the BDS and 35's and if i want more or the ride is rough i'll get the Camburg.
DustysRig looks pretty sweet with the BDS and kings, looks like he's got the camburg upper c arm. I'll ask him to post some side pics and how much his kings are cranked.
