Leveling kit or 6" Lift

The Macho King
You can get the Skyjacker lift from autoanything.com for 1800. Id go that way or Rancho. up side to Skyjacker is the rear lift is accomplished through New leaf springs but requires 20" wheels. Up side to Rancho is it is bulletproof and you can use 18" wheels, but the rear lift is just a larger block.
Rough country, I wouldn't even think about it. I had one of their lifts on a previous truck and it was garbage. Shocks were replaced very quickly, and the bushings were cheap rubber.

I drive a Chebby now :(
I went with the 6" Zone lift on my 2WD. I was extremely happy with the ride but I had about an 1 1/2" rake and I hate not being level. I added the AS 1 1/2" spacers last night and now it rides a bit worse, my ball joints are maxed out, and my upper CA is coming in contact with the springs at full droop like over big dips. I don't know what I'm going to do now.
There is my $0.02

I went with the 6" Zone lift. I can't do it myself so I had to pay for labor and all parts.
All in the cost was about $6,500 with the kit, labor, wheels and tires.
Yes, it rides better than stock (in my opinion). No, I don't regret it one bit. I have the 4WD lift and it has been awesome.
Only do it if you don't mind the looks. It stands out. For some thats good, some bad.

Damn man that looks killer! My buddies and i can install the lift. Does it have any forward rake like Milt said his 2WD kit does? I like standing out thats the reason why i got Flame Blue and am gonna lift it haha. Thanks for the input Zone just moved to the top of the list!

It has some rake, but nothing that bothers me. It is pretty level. Here is a side shot. I don't do a lot of offroading, so I went with Zone. If you are going to beat her up, BDS may be your bet, but they are more expensive.
