To me the 6" on a Dodge with 37's is perfect.

35's fit with just a levelling kit, and for 37's you need a 4.5" or higher...

Default My opinion

The 6"er and the 37"er's are a great combo, my friend has the 07 5.9 and it is sharp!!

BL to me are cheap, there fine on an old gas truck

but on a diesel you have to mess with the intercooler piping, not worth the $100, plus the ugly gaps
