I have a 3 inch spacer because I didn't want the extra cost of an lift for an extra inch. The real heart breaker is all big name lifts only drop the front axle. No gains on ground clearance other than tire size. the spacers force the A-arms down causing more ride hight
Axle drop lift and 35 inch tires = 4 inches ground clearance
3 inch spacers and 33 inch tires is anywhere between 4-5 inches depending on spring compression.
Thanks for the information. I'm learning more each day. Another reason a 6" is almost out of the question is because of my works parking garage. With a 4" I can just squeeze in but a 6" I will not. There is no other good parking alternitve for me unfortunately
