Heyo, please help me figure out what 3-4 inch lift would be best for my truck.  Thanks.

What do you use the truck for?

I have had good luck with RUF/63's on my first gen. I recently picked up a set of Sky 3F springs. https://www.skysoffroaddesign.com/products/toy-5ls-001 I haven't installed them yet but have heard nothing but good things and they should keep the truck low. I've seen members here have good results with OME (old man emu), combined with a drop hanger. Also keeps the truck low, but doesn't push the axle forward as much. I've seen guys online using OME RUF. Looks like it could be a good option but never seen them in person and Im pretty sure you have to play with them a bit.

I've heard great things about sky off road springs!
