6" for best clearance. 4" if you're only driving on pavement and don't want to leap in.

Kinda hard to say who's got the best lift. I got a though country lift, all leaf spring no blocks! It rides like a 79 truck should. But if you are going to put 35s on it go with at least a 6 inch lift. I been through this before the extra 2" will be worth it.

It's not real bad, I'm going to re-do the interior this fall, I have a set of newer Dodge seats that are being re-covered right now(with bowties in the headrest), I think once I get rid of the trampoline seats it will be much better. ;)

It's actually a 1991, the last year they built this body style. Thanks on the paint, I did it myself. Interior and new power over the winter and I will be done.
