2 is factory and got my vote. I barely tweaked my hitch going into the local place but could go everywhere with factory lift and factory sized tires except the steep incline only because it was too narrow of a path. So I guess you need to figure out where you are going to run and what the locals are using successfully.

What size tire are you gonna run? 38's are the biggest legal in NJ, when I was gonna fix the yellow truck I was thinkin about taking it back to stock, and seeing how much lift I needed for 35's. Remember you WILL have to go though the tilt test with more than 2" of lift. 6" would look good, but think of stability. I know I told you to go with that, but I don't have to drive it, or get into it on a daily basis either.

realy we need to know what your plans for tires are first...second of all STAY AWAY from body lifts..springs are the only way togo.....now theres some tricks i learned with lifting a RC....if your not to overly concerned about rock crawling then id go with 3/4 ton lift springs for a 72-78 3/4 ton dodge truck this will compensate for the extra mass of an RC...giveing a slightly stiffer ride with less body roll and you will be less likely to hit the tires on the wheel wells with less lift required....
i personaly would not order a "kit" but would goto a local spring shop and talk with them about it since there going to be cheeper more than likely and can get you the springs sooner without shipping costs

yeah id say that a true 6 inch is pushing it on an RC unless the tires warent it..but like i said 3/4 ton springs will require less lift to clear the tires..the 3/4 tons i put together on mine gave me just enuf to clear the 33's on HARD corner bounces without hitting the tires or needing clearance on the wheelwells.......cause its the hard corner bounce that you have to worry about when playing in the mud(ie going straight but wheels cranked and ya hit a bump while in the slop)

i think i prefer the frame stress check of pothole hell next to baxters
wich reminds me..pull your front shock mounts off of the frame and inspect that the frame hasnt been cracked there as its a common problem best solved BEFOR it happens by welding in a plate behind the shock mounts to double the thickness of this stress point

Not sure on the dimensions but I know the front end tracks a bit wider than the rear. At least 69.5's does.
