For real, a 6" lift would be an epic undertaking. On my 1st gen, I replaced the front air ride with some coils, above average shocks and added 3" leveling keys to the front torsion bars. For the rear, I replaced the air ride with coils, some above average shocks and a Daystar 2" lift kit. Beyond the coils and the 2" Daystar, there was no room to lift it any higher than this. It turned out just the way I was hoping for where the height was good enough for some respectable off-roading yet the body doesn't bounce all over the damn place while going down the highway either. Next, I plan on some new rims and tires when funds become available. Good luck OneBigTruck, upload pics and let us know how it goes.
