Lifting my wife's 05

Hey guys,
Like the title states my wife wants me to life her 05. I don't know why but she does. So my question is what lift? She wants a 6" but I'm not 100% sure that the truck is going to look right with a 6" lift and 35s. Any opinions on that one? By the way if I'm going to do it I would like to go with a long arm kit. So what do you guys think?
Thanks,
Topper

IMO, 35s look too small on a 6" lift.

Id go with a 4" lift(if you HAVE to lift it), if you're set on 35s.

if you want 35 inch tires go with a Fabtec 4 inch lift, the fabtec lift on dodge rides like a cadillac and when fabteck comes out with the 4.0 dirtlogic coilover kit you will love it even more including how it looks, i have a super lift 6 inch on my 04 and i love it . it feels like a new truck with 160k on it . 6 inch will fit 37/13.50/17 to 37/15.50/17 with removal of front valence under front painted bumper

I think you need bigger tires... I prefer the look of 37"s w/no lift:

Thanks guys,
I think a 4" lift would be better then a 6" as well. Now all I have to do is change her mind. How about a 5" lift anybody have any experience with a 5" lift? XLR8R the tires(35) rub a little with a 2" space so I can't imagine how they would hit with 37s.
Thanks,
Topper

Well I've got her to go with a 4" lift now my question to is what lift? Is the Fabtec the best. I can get a Super lift for less money then the Fabtec. Is the Fabtec better then the Super lift?
Thanks,
Topper
