f250 sd lift 4'' vs 6''

Saving my pennies for a suspension lift on my 02 ford f250 superduty its a supercab shortbox v10 auto, looking to stay with 33'' tall tires, it curently sits level, would like to go with 4'' suspension but in reality I would only be gaining 2'' after taking out the levelling kit and installing the 4'' suspension, how would the super duty handle with 6'' of lift and 33'' tires i do a lot of highway driving with it also what make is good currently looking at BDS and Skyjacker any others that do a 5'' or something.

I went from a 2" box kit to a 4" pro comp spring lift to better clear 315s. I think 4" looks good with 35" tires, putting 33s might look okay, but I doubt I would like them with a 6" lift.

I run a 4" lift w/ 37s no problem. A 6" with 33s would look funny IMO. The 4" lifts give them quite a bit of rise. They are designed to be ran with 35s. You can do the 33s but it just wont fill out the wheel well very well.

Here is a pic of my 03 F350 SRW with 4" and 37s to give you an idea...

6" lift w/ 35s. Not sure the 35s aren't even a little too small. I'm pretty sure 33s will be.
