how mucth do you want to spend

Also do you need 6inch lift ?? 4inch these days is a much better option, and you can still run your 36s

6" will look good but that is about it! In the real world, 4" will do everything you need and then it will handle and just mod the guards to suit if needed.
Also fit drop box to correct geometry. Longer brake lines, panhard rods etc.
Look at it this way, how many comp trucks have more than 4" of lift? Not many. Even most big budget trucks stay with 4" as that is the best compromise between travel and handling. My lift is technically a 3" but due to weight it is 4" and I'll thinking of going back down a bit as it is a bit unstable on sideslopes. High speed is great but I'm prepared to lose a bit of that for real world handling!

Dobinsons is the best brand. I have 3 different front coils and 3 different rear coils in the 6-7" lift so you will be able to get the setup that suits your application.

Having said that, my 4-5" lift flexy coils give the same flex as the 6-7" lift coils so you get no flex benefit by being that high.

Most comp guys run dislocating cones or tie in their coils for flex.

I don't think 6-7" lift would be too good as a daily driver because it would stand out too much to the cops. 37's would probably stand out also.

Make mates with grinder.

dont use trek master coils. Iv found them no good. had 2 sets in 3 months. sagging unevenly.

What ever you do` You need longer front and back panhard rods
To center up your axels

thanks to all you's for your advice
i have desided to stick with the 6" coils with procomp shock im runing now after having a good look at them on the weekend and get adjustable panhard rods to senter the diffs

cheers
