I'm trying to decide between a 4" lift and a 5.5" or 6" lift. I plan on running 33's and this also will be driven to from work when I'm not driving my sportbike.

Goals:
1 Make the truck more off road capable - get through 60% to 70% of passable offroad trials
2 Firm up the suspension for around town driving w/o making it ride like the suspension is locked solid
3 Reduce the body roll in turns

I don't plan on doing a body lift, but I do plan on replacing the body bushings with new rubber bushings(or if there is a REALLY soft urathane body bushing).

Any comments on the available lifts are welcome. I'd also like to hear what people have to say about the brands of lifts available, both good and bad, pros and cons.

Thanks!
