Default What Lift Should I get?

I got a 2006 Silverado Z71. Trying to see what lift is the best. Im aiming towards the New Rough Country 6" NTD lift. I just havn't heard anything about them like pros and cons. Just wondering what people think is the best lift.

first i would look around befor you buy.. RC is expensive! a lift for my truck is $1400+ there and somewhere else i foudn the same exact lift for under $1000...if you looking for just bigger tires i'd go with a body lift. but for off roading u want some performance..i'd get a suspension for that.

Yeah that was one benifit from getting rough country. It was one of the cheapest I could find. The regular lift was $999 and the New Non Torsion Drop lift they have is $1200. Fab tech, Skyjacker, and Pro Comp were all $1400+. I just don't want to buy a lift that doesnt have that much support and cant handle some rought muddin.
