Question custom body lift

Is there any company that makes custom body lifts? I got a 3in body lift now but I want a 6in body lift so I can fit 40s on my truck. If not what can I do 2 get 40s on my truck?

6 inch body lift is just stupid. your going to have ALOT more body roll because the wait is transfered in a higher range. think of it this way, you have a golf tee barely sticking in the ground and the golf ball on top, and a golf tee sticking 2/3rds the way into the ground with the ball on top, which is more likely to fall over??

you have a 6 inch lfit you can fit 38's already .....a 3 inch body lift should be enough?

well lets see here on my truck I have 37s on it and and I don't have much room for any more. I understand what u r saying but with the golf t and all. As far as it being stupied as long as it looks right who cares? If I had a new body style f150 I could becouse they have bigger lifts 4 them and they accomadate taller tires.

i could understand if it was a show truck but even at slow speeds your going to be leaning all over the place and youll feel it. i mean...when i was up on the eifle tower, you think something that solid and big wouldnt lean at all....but you could feel it leaning like 4-5 feet in all directions. but you should be able to fit 40's on a 3 inch body lift look at this truck.....6 inch lfit and 38's

You don't want to go over a 3 inch body lift. If you want a taller lift, I suggest you start researching a straight axle conversion.

with 6 inches of body lift your cab mounts or bolts will probably break. think of it as your blocks being like a leaver. and you really dont want the body to fall off the frame in an accident or turning a sharp corner lol

6" body lift

why don't you just take to 3" body lifts and jb weld them together!, then do the same with the bolts

you should do an avalanche conversion while you do your body lift


No but seriously, dont do the body lift! 3" max! sell your existing lift to do a STA conversion, you would be much happier

start with a sas with some high arch springs from say a superduty since they can make insane amounts of lift for them. i think whiplash makes huge lift kits for the f150 but people have mixed reviews

yeah whiplash makes a good kit, but you will be better off with a bulletproof lift. I never had any problems with my 13" kit from whiplash.
