Default Suggestions on 6" lift

Looking for a 6" suspensin lift for 99 nbs silverado with out cranking up the torsion bars. Ive looked at them all but having trouble making a decision. I think im leaning towards the fabtech. Any one have pros or cons about one brand over another would be helpful. Thanks.

Default 99 nbs 6' lift kit

Im sorry for the broad question. Imlooking for advice in direction of do you want a lift with drop steering knuckles or just a diff drop, Is it best to get a kit with traction bars. Is there one kit thats easier to do your self then others. SO far what ive read fabtechs not bad to do at home and has most of what im looking for other then id like to replace the rear leaf springs nstead of use blocks. But im hoping someone might have a lift and make some recommendations wether they like certian things about it or not. Thanks again.

Rough country has a 6 inch full drop kit that is 100%but identical to fabtechs with the exception of it being about a grand cheaper. There prices skyrocketed once gm started using fabtech lifts on there trucks. Ladder bars arent super necessary but they look cool. Whatever brand you go with if its a complete kit itll come witj the axles spacers steed ng linkage and everything you need and if you dont want to block it you can add the springs or buy separate.

My superlift has been pretty good to me, its a full drop kit so my track width isnt crazy like you would get with a Fabtech

I had a superlift also. It was on a halfton dodge though the 2good lifted gms i got now have a rcd and fabtech and the rough country is great. Especially for the price. Full throttle makes very very nice lifts but they are very expensive

Default cutting front diff mounting bracket or not.

Once this kit is installed on my truck i have no intensions of removing it. Is It recommended to go with a kit that requires you to cut off the upper mouting bushing from the front diff or find a kit that leaves it intact. I dont care either way. I think i am leaning towards the rough counrty. I like the looks of it.

Did you pick a lift yet? I've installed Fabtech, Procomp and Rough Country and I like the Rough Country the best of all. I just did a 6" NTD lift on my '01 Silverado. It clears 35"x12.50" with ease.
