What is the best lift for 2008 DMAX????

Have a good friend who is getting ready to lift his truck. He has an 08 CCSB LTZ 2500HD. He wants either a 4" or 6" lift and neither of us really know which lift would be the best one. He doesnt go off road, just wants it for looks and reliability. I had a 01 1500 with an RCD lift kit and was very pleased. I know many lift kits seem to wear parts out much worse than others. But havent heard much about them in the recent. Any help or input is greatly appreciated. Thanks
