3" BL on top of 6" fabtech, opinions please!

Hey everyone, i have a '06 2wd f150 and am installing a 6" fabtech lift in the next week or so, with 3" rear AAL and a 2.5" AS up front. I was wondering what everyone thinks of having a 3" PA BL on top of it? Is it worth the money, even if i have to pay someone to install in ($750 total with BL) or does it not look great with the two together. I am just trying to decide if i want the extra 3" and if its worth the $$. If i knew i could do it myself i would do it in a heartbeat for the $250 but the extra 400-600 makes me second guess the idea. If anyone has pics let me see, and anyone have opinions let me know. Also i am putting BFG mud terrain 35x12.5x18 on so would these look ridiculously small if i added the extra 3"???? everyones opinion is helpful, just trying to decide on a good height...

If you are gonna run 35's I'd stick with just the 6 inch lift personally. They will also look fine with the 6 inch lift and the leveling kit together. I think if you added the body lift, the 35's would look way to small. Also, there are apparantly some changes on the 2006 trucks that require some custom fabrication to the rear bumper to install the 3 inch body lift. One member here has installed one, so it can be done. PA is currently working on an updated kit for the 06-07 trucks.

I may be wrong here, but why add the spacer? you can just crank your coil overs and get the same height....that's what I did + the body lift and my truck rides awesome....

hot, i did not get the coilovers as part of my BL. i got the basic crossmember kit with the front and rear shocks, but no coilovers *im a college student and that extra money wasnt there right now* but thanks everyone for the opinions, and i think im sticking with just the lift i have, i dont have the money to regear and get bigger tires along with the BL. Plus i dont need the extra 4" (lift and tires) of height right now....i may just get an edge from SANTA!!
