Default 4" suspension lift vs 6"

Do they make a 4" susp lift yet for the NBS chevy? Who? Would you get that or the 6"? Or just settle for a lot less cash and a 3" body lift only?

I think just about every company makes one now. there isn't much price difference in a 4" or a 6"

what ya'll recommend as the softest riding susp lift? Everyone I've ever had just used more leaf springs in the back making it pretty stiff sometimes.

Wow I hope to god you're planning an engine swap. You're going to have the slowest truck in history if you try and put bigger tires behind that 4.3L.
