You need to remember the higher you go and bigger tire you do that worse it will ride and make more noise. My truck remember has a 4" on it and I sit pretty darn high with the the rims and tires.

Leave it. As we all know all Diesels/Trucks in general basically have the aerodynamics of a barn door; Jacking it up 6'' plus adding 40's would absolutely kill your fuel mileage. Those 40's will really bog you down allot, you'll have a big noticeable loss in acceleration as well. Plus the truck looks great the way it is.

I think I am just going to do the 0-2" Kelderman Air Ride to level the front and get better ride quality. If I can find a tire in the 38" range that is a little beefier in width (not height) I will go to it.
Thanks guys for helping me with this!

in your photoshop I dont think you have enough lift to clear the tires. you will have major rub....
I have 37s and a 3" and needed to do some fender mods. Many pics on hear and other places.
There is a truck near me with what looks like 40s and a kelderman lift. it is huge. Does not even look like it can still tow any thing.
So any way, I vote no. For the amount of lift you mention in your last post, there are quite a few cheaper options then kelderman. but I will say not as cool and airing down when you stop. but you need both ends to make that realy cool.
