Re: 4 inch or 6 Inch
The cost difference will probably not be that big between 4 and 6". If you think you may want to go bigger later, now is the time to do it. Although I feel my 4" is right where I want it with my 35x12.50s and don't plan to go any higher on my K30, but it is a DRW.

Re: 4 inch or 6 Inch
6 inch with 35's. go for the 6 inch, might as well get what you want the first time, saves money in the long run. ive learned that countless times

Re: 4 inch or 6 Inch
go 8.5 lol
http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/...p-p-19164.html just weld it up so you can run the 52" springs hey its kinda cheap but it will ride good, flex well, and clear some good size tires

Re: 4 inch or 6 Inch
I had a 4" in my 78 before I restored it. When I restored it I replaced the 4" lift with a 6" lift. If I had to do it again I would've kept the 4" lift. I had some drive line issues with the 6" lift, for one I had to get a new front driveshaft. The old one wasn't quite long enough. I think you would have plenty of room for 35's with the 4" lift.
