Suspension lift

I have a 1986 F150 4x4 that I'am trying to fix up a little bit. I am planning on putting a suspension lift on it but I don't know if I should go with a 4 or 6 inch lift. I dont want to put any body lift on it either. I like the look of a six inch but I dont know if it is too much for the truck. If I do get a six inch how many modifications would I have to do to the brake lines and linkage parts on the truck.
Thanks alot
By the way it has a 302 EFI in it.
