Nope, ifs is easy imo. Just time consuming is all. Rear is easy: blocks, aal's, or new springs. spend the extra $ and go with new springs and cut down on the axle wrap. go with a 6, you will be hating yourself later for not going bigger.

I'm with that guy^^^ Always go bigger or you will regret it later down the road. I was going to put a 6.5" Dick Crepek lift on my tahoe, but decided to go the other way after much debate. But IMO spend the extra $$ and get a good quality lift and save money in the long run. The DC lift is one of the best from the reasearch that I did, and get new leafs don't go with blocks though add a leafs might not be too bad, but for 6" you would have to add quite a few of them.

Go with a lift from Dick Crepek IMO, spend the money and do it right the first time
But any company that has been around for a while should be fine. Heres some
Dick Crepek 6.5"
Pro Comp 6"
Rough Country 6"

the only thing is try to find a lift that has a full 6" dif drop for the front so your CV angles stay good

x2, RC is a great lift for the money, but cepek is definitely the strongest of them.

DC gets my vote, toughest and tallest 6" kits out there for the OBS.

I had the money all saved for the DC lift for my tahoe, but backed out at the last minute. I drove a few lifted trucks and it just wasn't my cup 'o tea. My dad has a 98 ram with a 2.5" leveling kit and 35s and its too big for me. I'd rather have them low, but nothing against lifted trucks, I love the look of them 
But if your on a budget get the RC lift, but if you want the biggest and the best save for the DC lift.

No, as long as you dont crank the tbars too much it wont be a rouch ride. Most people actually like the ride after installing a lift more then they did when it was stock.

I have ridden in a few trucks that were cranked and still rode better than stock. I think its the bigger tires and better shocks that improve the ride.
But spend money on good tires and shocks too. I have owned Nitto Terra Grapplers a few different times and that are the best all around tire IMO, great price and a great wearing tire.

well if you crank too much you rest on the bump stops and have no upward travel so that will ride like shit.

Oh I agree, these weren't cranked to the max, but they did sit a little cali.
