Kore or Carli suspension! Many claim to lift a vehicle and their springs will do just that but your ride quality may diminish. Make sure any lift system you select contains variable rate coils. As usual you will get tons of various opinions on this topic. I'm just telling you what my choice is after reading hundreds of threads on here.

i have looked at both of them and while they are awesome lifts i really dont want to spend 4k on a lift lol, i agree with you on ride quality i used to have a 1987 chevy one ton with about 14 inches of lift and 40's and that thing was one rough ride

IMO after having the RCD 6" having alot of bushing, control arm and sagging front coil issues. when I do this over, I will be using Thurens, Carli's and Ben Kings. I will create my own. and it wont be 4K$ you can also talk to the folks at www.topguncustomz.com they have a lot of choices of kits as well as individual parts

i got a 6" lift on my truck and bought everything that i needed from top gun and it was a lot cheaper doing it that way since i was doing some other mods also while i was working under it any way. my springs are skyjacker and that thing rides smoother than stock

for a idea on what you would need look at kits for your truck and read about them and what they supply with the lift kits. IMO if you go anything bigger than 4" you vehicle will ride alot better with Long arm control arms...
