What size tire are you planning on running? What kind of wheeling (if at all)?

Same question why 8". Can't imagine why you would want to be that top heavy in Nevada. Its not like you are going to be running mud bogs that often.

My opinion: that's a big lift.

Moving to chat...

That's A LOT of lift. Unless you plan on doing deep mud, there's no reason for that big of a lift. I would think being in Nevada you'd be doing more rocks, and would recommend a 4.5" long arm, trim the fenders, and run 33's.

If you aren't sure, then maybe stick with the shorter of the two.

You can very easily fit 35's under 6.5", 4.5" for that matter.
