Superlift, Rcx, BDS, trailmaster, tuffcountry,etc. Lots of options out there. All have (or had at one time) offered a 6" suspension lift for the GMT400 platform. Google is your best friend.

But, what do you intend to use the truck for with 6" of lift?

"Mall crawler" or a serious of road machine?

I ask because a 6" lift is used for pretty large tires. Larger tires, the size a 6" suspension lift will allow, impart a lot of force on IFS components they we not designed to handle.

If it's a Mall crawler, it won't be that bad. Parts will wear faster, but that's the price you pay for looking "tough" in the MacDonalds parking lot..

But if you intend to wheel it, you'll be wearing out (and breaking) IFS parts pretty rapidly. Tie rods, ball joints, unitized wheel bearings, CV joints, etc. Not to mention IFS on the GMT400 is not much of a "hard core" off road performer.

If you do intend to wheel the truck with that kind serious of lift/tires in rough terrain/rock climbing/deep mud/clay/etc, you're probably better off just buying a solid axle swap kit and be done with it....
