Stacking a 6+3

I was wanting any comments at all both positive and negative about stacking a 3inch BL on top of the 6 inch suspension lift i already have. I have been wanting to do it after seeing a lot of trucks on this site and drooling over them. But did you guys run into any problems stacking these lifts?? Brake lines, air intake systems ect.
Any comments at all would be awsome thanx

How is your front staying even with your back when you stack them?

He's referring to combining a suspension lift and a body lift. A body lift will lift the entire body three inches.

I dont have the torsion bars cranked up all the way that is why the front is level with the back on my truck, the reason I did not tighten them all the way up is because the truck rides so much better and is not so stiff on the front end, when I had just the body lift on I had them tightend all the way up and it rode pretty rough so I was trying to get it to ride better with the suspension lift and it does it rides better than with the stock suspension to me.

So far it seems to be good. The tires are not that noisy and everything seems to be fine. Does seem kinda wierd when behind someone now and it looks like i'm going to run over them.
The gears really made a big difference i think. I can tell there is more power at the wheels now when i take off. To bad they engine still don't have much.
I'm really considering looking for a 5.4 to rebuild and drop in it now.

so nobody has ever had or heard of any problems stacking a BL on top of a suspension lift. I would have thought there had to be something, but i do love the sound of hearing no probs. if you guys ever think of anything please feel free to share. Thanx
