everyone seems to love fabtech w/ coilovers. depends what kind of off roading your wantin to do. i have bds 6" lift. rides great on street havent really offroaded it but its just a spacer up front so im sure for serious off roading you would would coil overs or something other than a spacer up front
Theres nothing wrong with a Body Lift on a offroad vehicle, unless you plan to jump it. Ive had 2 and i beat the crap out of the one on my ranger and no problems. My suspension lift gave out first.
Now that thats out of the way, Full Throttle and whiplash make BIG lifts for our trucks but if you take it off the pavement the kit will fall apart, much less if you actually wheel in it
The best bet is to stack a 6" Fabtech and 3" body lift together you can clear 38's like this.
You could add the Fabtech Suspension lift then Crank your torsion bars all the way up and possibly get a inch maybe more.

I was looking for a 8" suspension lift, I don't like body lifts espically for off road use.
you're not going to find one. I wouldn't trust the Whiplash/FullThrottle lifts at all. I really don't think our trucks' IFS was meant to deal with that much stress. A body lift is the only reliable way to go if you want more lift.
I have superlift 2" blocks my TB cranked with the stock keys and running 315/70r/17 BFG's. I was thinking about putting the lift in on top of this.
Do you know if the 6" fabtech lift has leafs or is it just blocks? also does anyone know if you can get dif skid plates that protect the whole dif and not just the cover
like the others have said Fabtech is the way to go, it holds it own offroad or onroad, to me it makes the truck ride better than it did when it was stock but thats just my opinion!!! go with the Fabtech you wont be dissapointed!!
