Honestly ask yourself if you need a lift. They do nothing but hurt the truck if your going to use it day to day. I am in the process of determining what I new to REMOVE my lift. It does nothing but make the truck worse. And that lift you linked to, I would stay away from. Those radius arm brackets will bend the first time you bump into something. With 6 inches of lift, you really need extended radius arms and new rear leaf springs to be able to drive the truck comfortably. At least that's go I look at it. My lift is a $1500 lift and I still don't think it's that great.

I agree with everything Evan_P just said, except for how great/ not great his lift is. I have no experience with his truck.
And to add to that, if you're adding a lift to your truck so you can take it mudding, fine great, but don't plan to use your truck as a daily driver anymore. The lift itself will decrease MPG, as well as big tires (as I'm sure that's also in your plan). You will be looking at single digits for sure. So with that said, I hope your budget has some room in it for a cheap 4 cylinder car to drive around and get 30+ MPG.
If your truck is a mall crawler, don't even waste your money. Like was said, there are almost no benefits of having a lift on the road.
