I have been and can see both sides of the argument. I had a 6 inch with 35s on my old truck and now have a 3 inch level and 33s on my new truck. Pros of 6inch - you deff stand out more in a crowd. Use. Of bigger tires. Cons- Expensive, waste of $2000, more strain on suspension, i was replacing ball joints and ujoints every 6 months. - Pros of level - still sit higher than most, cheaper, diy install, save gas, no wear and tear on drivetrain, save $! Im running 265/70/20 (33)with cooper at3 and am racing wheels and i wont go back to a sus lift ever again

The lift package was $179 and my tire place put it on for like $200 when I bought the 33's. So like $379 total. I love the 6" lifts but it's just not practical for me. Plus, I like the factory rake, though I think I'm in the minority on that.
