from my understanding and everything i have read it seams that if you install a true 6" lift and drop the torsion bars down by backing out the adjusting bolts till the CV joints are level it will sit like a 4" lift. you would use the blocks from a 4" lift on the back too.

it does seem that not all lifts will work like this as some don't drop the front diff low enough for a true 6". many will use their 4" lift and with the keys cranked up call it a 6" lift and sell it this way. the CV angles on a kit like this, at 4" look like they do when stock, ie still a slight angle.

the trick is finding which kits are the ones that will work. from my research it appears that it is the higher end / more expensive kits that will drop it right.

i'm just not ready yet to pull the trigger on a $2k lift kit and then have to figure out getting tires too so i can put then on right after the lift kit install. i guess when i settle on a kit maybe it will have to sit in the garage on a shelf for another year while i save of for some new bigger tires.
