Every vehicle is different but with a 6" lift attention to the shafts is usually required.

I think Ill just stick with the 4" shackle flip/zero rates. thanks for the input
Do you plan on lots of fender trimming? I'm running 8" lift with 35's and i rub the backside of my front fenders all the time but i'm not trimmed "yet".

A friend of mine has a 4" skyjacker all spring lift with 36's with minor fender trimming and he says he doesnt rub. I originally was going with 35's but he talked me into running 36's

you may need longer shafts even with a 4 inch. i eventually pulled my drive shaft apart casue it was too short with a 4in lift.

i had a 4 and 35's on my old 78 k5...
Some lady cut me off on a corner (double turn lane) and i had to lock teh back up... rear drive shaft popped out... middle of traffic...
You'll need to give that rear shaft some attention...
