Exclamation 6" lift with 2.5"?

I am already running a pro comp lift with spacers. I want to go bigger without upgrading to another lift. I looked at a 12" rize and got a quote but i really can't shell that much money not including tires. I was thinking body lift but is it possible to run a body lift with spacers? would there be a problem doing that? Somebody has told me if i wanted to do that i would need to get a coilovers and then put a body lift. I am just looking for the cheapest way

Here we go again.........

Ditch your procomp 6 inch spacers

Get some 6 inch Bilstien coilovers from Topguncustomz

And then add a 2.5 inch Autospring spacer on top. Keep in mind the Autospring spacer isn't really 2.5 inches thick. If you were to add a 2.5 inch thick spacer......that would not be good.

With the Bilsteins and Autospring spacer, you'd be at about 8.5 inches of lift. Then, if you really wanted, you could add a body lift on top of that. Exactly what size tires do you want? Do you really need more than 8.5 inches of lift?

water under the bridge my friend, but the cheapest way, not saying the best way, is to just add a spacer on top of the spacer you already got. you'll get the lift you want for the cheapest $$

I'd install a 3 inch Performance Accessories body lift.

So you could put a bodylift on top of spacers no problem. This is what i want to know. I would really like to clear 38's maybe 39's

A body lift will not have any affect on your suspension. It doesn't matter if you have a Pro Comp, Fabtech or a stock truck.

okay there seems to be a comfusion here.
A body lift will be putting a block persay in between your frame and the body of the truck where the body is mounted to the frame.

im assuming your talking about adding a spacer on top of the procomps spacer, which will give you 8.5" of suspension lift and if you do a body like 3" of body lift. dont stack a spacer on top of your body lift. thats just nonsense. if you stack a spacer on your suspension lift and a body likft you can be frunning 11.5" of lift and im 99% sure you can clear 40's with that.

My future plans is to get some coilovers crank them do a body lift and hopefully stick 40's on it. and yeah yeah its just for show, once you get that size tire your IFS basically becomes pointless, the CV's wont be able to do ****t.
