Lift/tire question

hey everyone. i have decided to lift my 06 f250 and put larger tires on it. i am torn between two possible combinations of lift and tires. either
A.) lift 3 or 4 inches and 35 inch tires
or
B.)lift 6 inches and put 37 inch tires on it

i realize if i go with 37s i would have to regear and do a few other things to it to make it work.

if cost was not an object what would you all go with?

note: i will be using the truck on road and off road. it is my daily driver. but i want to make it alot more off road capable for when i do go wheelin

35's... I assume its a Dizzle? if its a gas you'd prolly need to regear either way if its a Dizzle then it wont be as bad because of the added torque but still wouldn't be a bad idea to go a little deeper gear wise if its a SRW its most likely got 3.73 gears

Its a 5.4 with 3.73s. So probably regearing would be necesary either way.. this is making me rethink things.

Yea with a 5.4 Id go 4.56's with either tire size just to keep it happy and if you decide to tow with it. we have one at work and it needs all the help it can get with 285's so with a 35 it be real bad
