I'm saying 6 "+ I can get things out of the side of my box at stock height, but I have to climb in the bed for anything else.. but you can't tell me it's super easy to step up on the bumpers or hop on the tailgate at 6-8" lol

Sounds to me like you're just a sissy. :biggun:
Seriously though, it's not that bad. I use my hitch ball as a step to get into the truck. And I'm pretty short. With the tailgate down, its just awkward getting into the bed though.

Stock or lowered and wide gets my vote all day. I'm just not a fan of lifted stuff... lowered handles better, easier to work on, easier to get in... lowered or stock height FTW!

While I agree that stock or leveled is easier to get into a toolbox, its no easier with a dually. Maybe I'm almost fun sizedLOL
My truck is currently stock, but I still have to get in the bed to get things. The dually fenders make it too difficult and I hate it when people try to pull things out over the dually fenders. They always get scratched up. I had a couple guys using my truck and that's exactly what they did even after telling them not to.

I'm getting ready to add 4" to the front and do something to the rear along with 35's. I use my truck as a car like the munchkin does :D
Since I already have to jump in the bed, a few extra inches won't hurt anything:)

I like all styles, short, tall, fat, etc as long as they are properly proportionedLOL

Yeah i'm really leaning towards it with mine, but I grew up around nothing but lifted trucks, so it just feels right to me. I'm slowly weening myself off of it though. I'm on 38x15.50's with 18x12 pacers now, just ordered 20x14 fuels goin down to 36x15.50's. Yeah i know its not much of a difference, but i'm taking the 12 step approach. cant just quit muddin cold turkey, thats how relapses occur!

I really like the stock wide look. I'm looking for wider tires for my OBS right now. My front spring are kinda saggy, so mine sits a little lower in the front which don't bother me so when I tow it won't squat bad. A lifted truck to me just looks stupid, that are all over the road and can hardly use them. IMO. If anything maybe like a 2 inch lift.....

It's hard to tow a gooseneck and keep the trailer level sitting on 6" and 37s. Buddy had a dodge and it wouldn't tow my 32' non lo pro pj because it sat to tall

Dodge is always the problem lol. I know a guy a few miles from me that had a 6" on 35"s on a duraslack and took his leafs off his 5er and had then re arched to lift it so he could tow it
