I would go with a 4 inch lift. its a little less radical and 35s should fit. I believe 33s will fit stock so you should be fine.

As mentioned, a 4 inch lift will allow you to run 35" tires OK. If you plan to flex your suspension to the limit, then 33's would be a better choice.

If you go with a 6 inch lift, you will probably want to replace the front driveshaft with one that has a CV joint at the transfer case. Shafts from an F-350, along with the F-350's output yoke might work for you.

Skyjacker makes a decent kit for your truck. Superlift is another good one.

I have a 1991 F-250 with a 6 inch lift on it using the stock drive shaft. I was able to fit 38's under it with no body lift! 36's will look a little better with the 6 inch cause they won't be stuffed like mine. But with the 6 inch, you really should get extended braided brake lines.
