lift kit thoughts
I want to put a lift on my truck and thought I would come to you for your opinions. Here is a picture of the truck, the wheels and tires will stay the same. Tires are 35" Mickey Thompson ATZ, truck does have a leveling kit on the front.
I'm thinking a 4" kit would look perfect, but a 6" might look better.

seeing as how it looks like your tires have fairly narrow sidewalls, i'd stick to a 4" kit.
the 6" lift will make your tires seem awful small.

Well, since you're asking for our opinions:
One more write in vote for "Leave it the way it is".
A: Lifts with "rubber band" tires look incredibly silly to me.
B: Why lift if you don't have to? They only degrade performance, safety, and reliability.
C: It makes it harder to load and unload cargo.
D: It looks great now...

voted 4" i understand where you're coming from once you decide you want the lift or even think you do its hard not to.
4" is a good size lift with 35s but then again leveling kit looks good with 35s too
either way great looking truck and it doesnt need the lift to look better

I didn't vote either. Lifts cost people not just in the initial part and labor costs, but in costs down the road as well. Unless looks to you mitigates all the negatives that are attached to lifts(more wear and tear on parts, even crappier mileage, hard to hookup, haul trailers etc) then go for it. I'll never understand the need to lift things unless there are some "shortcoming" issues going around as there are just too many things that keep it from being a work truck by doing a lift.
It is your money, just realize that it's going to cost you more then the initial investment in the end.
