Re: lift kits
only 2 places, cognite and full throttle susp. or something I think it was, one of both no longer make them.
dc or dick cepek/extreme susp. is the next best, 6.5 lift, those are hard to find now too. other then those the rcx or the zone offroad ones, cheapest ones you can get and almost all of them are not 6 inch drop, you have to crank for the 6 inches.

Re: lift kits
You may need to consider a 3" body lift and a suspension lift to get what you're after.

Re: lift kits
Well if its only for looks then i wud just go with the 6 inch rough country lift its a good quality lift and with the body lift ur gunna be gettin 9 inches of lift throw some good sized tres on there and i think u will be pretty happy with it. But thats my personal opinion. My old gmc had 3 inch body and 3 inch suspension some 35s man that thing turned some heads so i cant even imagine what urs is going to do. So if i were u i wud just go with a 6 inch lift but thats just my opinion. Goodluck bud

Re: lift kits
just as I said almost none of the 6 inch kits are actually 6, you get 6 or more by cranking, the actual diff. drops are like 5-5.5 some other then rcx may be even less.
