Default Lift Kit 4" or 6" ?

Hello all....looking to lift my '07 Burban LTZ and I'm stuck on whether to go 4" Ranch/CST or 6" Superlift. All three claim to have bracketry available to install in an Autoride vehicle. I've seen the pics of the 4" lifts a few of you have done here but was wondering if anyone has installed the 6 incher and had some pics...?

I'm also hoping to squeeze 35s under it on the stock 20" rims. According to this chart:

When I plug in the stock wheel tire combo and the new 35x12.5-20s I get an inboard clearance decrease of .845 inches. Seems to me that maybe some 1/4-1/2" spacers and some trimming/inner fender melting with a heat gun might do the trick? Or am I dreaming on this one? Anyone have first hand knowledge of trying this combo?

If I can get 35s in there my 4" lift becomes a 5 1/2 lift after the 3" diameter increase. If I can only go 33s it's only a net 4 1/2. I'm also worried that a 6" lift will leave me wishing I had something to fill out the wheel wells even if I can get the 35s in there. Wish they made these damned wells bigger. My H2 fits 37s with no lift or trimming at all....
