Just look through the first page of the suspension section. You'll see the favorite is BDS. BDS is known for making great quality kits and having great customer service. You can purchase their kit on their website or check out some local shops and get some quotes on install and purchase.

They are all basically the same. They are all quality and around the same price. Some lift a little more then the advertised 6" while some others offer better options for parts (Struts and leaf springs) You really can't go wrong with any of them...

Check with A/T Fabrications in Texas. I got the best deal on a BDS from them.

I don't work for them but that's where I got the best deal on my 6" BDS. It was on sale last month but I believe there regular price is still cheaper than others. Justin was who I talked to and he helped me out a lot.

I'm very happy with my BDS

+1 on A/T fabrication! I am still waiting on my kit to arrive, but Justin by far is one of the best customer service personnel I have ever spoken to, and the absolute best price on any BDS kit.

most of the kits run on the nnbs for 6" are: fabtech, bds, superlift, rcd, rcx, zone, and pro comp. i believe most people have fabtech, superlift, or bds.

I think I'm going with the 7.5 rough country kits with 20 inch rims and 35 tires by the way have any of you guys used the diablo tuner on the 6.0 engine I'm interested in getting it wanna see what kinda results it has?

its a waste of money, your better off going with a tune by EFI Live or HP Tuners.

Don't go by that. Numbers that are given by handheld companies as advertisement are always false. Justin with Black Bear Performance travels the country doing custom tunes. Depending on your truck and your driving style and how you decide to get it tuned depends on the gains. I believe it is by far the BEST BEST BEST money I have spent on my truck. Justin is a top notch guy that has tons of experience in tuning trucks. Check out their site www.blackbearperformance.com or go over to their section of the forum and ask some questions.

Black Bear Tune ALL THE WAY. Not one regret for mine.

EFI Live and HP Tuners are not hand held tuners, they are tuning programs that are installed via laptop and are COMPLETELY customized for YOUR vehicle. My truck has EFI Live, and though it wasn't done by Justin at BB, it was done by a local shop that is VERY well known in the LS engine world, and i have no complaints.
