4" or 6" lift K10 Longbed

[Cricket]

Which lift would you recommend, 4" or 6" for a 77 longbed pick-up? What brand do you prefer?

Right now it's on 2.5 Ruff Country and 33's. I am in the market for more lift. This truck will have to be streetable and handle moderate difficulty trails.

Seems like once you get over a 4" lift you really start changing things in the steering, driveline, center of gravity, tire size, trimming et.

Any other guys out there running the trucks?

Not to hijack......

I ws kinda wondering the same thing on my 79 K10 LB.
From reading the other replys, it looks like 4" and less *usually* doesn't require and major modifications.
