Default 6" lift comments

I am considering doing this to my 2008 screw. I will pay the local shop to install the bds kit. I wanted to hear the comments of other folks who have done this to their trucks. Any regrets, issues, suggestions.. ect. Thanks!

p.s. If anyone has pics of their truck with a 6" lift only, i would really appreciate seeing those as well. give me any idea of how high i would be climbing and lifting my kids to load up for the beach and stuff...

If you got the money, DO IT you will love your truck so much more. But I have a 6 inch and now I want an 8 inch. So maybe you should think about just starting off with an 8 inch and you could still do 35s but you could also fit 37s if you want them later. B/c once you go big, you always want bigger.
