look at the highboys (73-77.5 f250 4x4s). this will give you an idea of what 4 inches will do. i have 36s on my highboy and i think its pretty good. i shoulda gone with 40s though.

How much lift do you have on this truck? Great thread, I'm having the same problem deciding between 4 and 6 inch, so don't forget to say how much lift your trucks have.
