3" suspension lift
 
I have a 3" Skyjacker suspension lift on my 06 scew 4x2 and would like to go a little higher. I'm thinking of going with a Spingtech lift. This will lift my front 2.75" with lift strut spacers and the rear 1.5" with lift shackles. Can anyone tell me if this can be done with no harm to the suspention and with out any modifications? I would like to know before i order. Thanks for you help.

No you can't. Your Skyjacker is basically a leveling kit up front. You are already stretching your angles 3" which is about maxed out. You can't put another leveling kit on. Even if you could somehow manage to get it in there, it for one would not align.. Two; your ball joints would last about 10 miles. If you want to go bigger get a body lift, or go to a suspension lift with a drop bracket.

You are good to go on the lift shackles though.

3" skyjacker
 
Thanks for the info. If i went with the shackles in the rear what could i do to level out the front? Could i go with the 2.5 autospring like you did? Your truck is sweet. Im trying to get that look and make up for the height loss of having a 4x2. Thanks

Basically, you have the options of a body lift or a full suspension lift. You cannot stack another leveling kit on top of the Skyjacker kit.

Thanks. Does anyone know of a 2" or 3" body lift that would work good with a 3" skyjacker add a leaf? I've heard bad things about blocks.

Go with the 3 inch Performance Accessories body lift.
