Re: choosing a lift and tires
What do you want out of the truck and what are you going to be using it for. Think about more fuel for having to move the bigger tires. If you go to the top of this section there is a post about people posting pictures of there own rides. There is a ton of pictures and info about the specs on them I would try that out first.

Re: choosing a lift and tires
Welcome to the board. Like said above, how will you be using your truck - that affects what we will recommend.

Re: choosing a lift and tires
welcome........there is a ton of info on the site but i will give you a quick answer to help...it would be great if you chimed in so we could see what you are working with.....but because i'm board.....
on my 85' blazer with 35" boggers...4" lift leaf spring kit in the front and the four inch blocks with wedge in the rear and it clears the tires with no probs.....so your 6" lift would clear no prob..... 4" lift on 33" tires i see no probs..... on my 71' chevy long bed i run an 8" lift spring kit all the way around and it clears fine....i would like to have and extra 2" but that is because of the way i play.....other than that you would be fine. once you get everything on, test it out to see how much flex you have, so you know your limits. on a side note Yukon Jack your truck
