    Put it this way: There is no simple answer to your question. I spend over a year just researching on the lift I wanted to do and I still had some fitment problems after I had it done.

    I don't want to burst your bubble but if you want to do it right, don't expect to do it quickly and don't expect to do it cheap.

    What I suggest you do is, look at the list of threads in this Suspension & Axle forum, and on the right at the top of the list of threads, there is a link called "Search this Forum". Start by typing in terms like "6-inch lift" and see what it offers. You'll probably have to search more than one set of keywords since searching for a specific item isn't an exact science.

    Here's a link that may help get you started.

    That's a quick way to never get any further help. I'd suggest a little humility in the future...

    Matter of fact, subsequent to our recent discussion on the topic, I'd suggest a quick deletion of this post.

    when did i ever mention anything about doing it cheap or quickly? and i have searched around about it and the reason i was asking was because the 6inch lift kits say they require 18inch minimum rims so i thought someone might know. aka the same in the link u posted.

    I'm guessing that the spindle kits require 18" rims to clear the spindle. The only way to get near the height you want on a stock rim is to do a 2-2.5" leveling kit and a body lift.

    Here's a couple of pics of truck with that setup.
