3" pa ??

two parter here.

1) Where is the cheapest place to get the PA 3" BL? So far, I found it for $166.00....someone told me they picked it up new for $89.00 though..PS..2002 screw.

2) I already have a Fabtech 6" susp....I read that PA says DONT GO WITH A BL if you already have a susp lift. What gives? I guess I'm looking for the "Why not" answer....

haha, actually, I'm looking for the "Dude, it will work just fine...I've had mine for years with no problems..go for it!" answer....

Hundreds of people run suspension and body lifts. There is no problem with it.
As for prices, check Summit Racing, 4WheelParts and Autoanything.com

their probably just covering their asses for insurance issues so you cant say thier body lift screwed up your lifted truck. its like my 2003 ranger had a PA body lift and i got a K&N cai for it, in big print it said "will not fit on body lifted trucks". As usual it fit perfect.

Here's my old 2004 FX4 SCrew with the PA 3" BL along with a ProComp 6" Suspension lift with 37's. I never had any issues with the setup. I miss ole BlkButy!

Dude - it will work just fine - go for it!

There - does that help??

You won't regret it - can clear 38's with that setup. Only reason they are saying that is for liability reasons. The 2 lift setups do not interfere with each other at all. There are at least 5+ people on this site including myself that are running that setup. Check the link in my sig for my build thread with lots of details and little things that should be done when doing this setup.

^^ them 2 have a 6 + 3 setup. so does cashel. all with OBS screws. ***** just BL his, has 11" of lift now i think he said, he has 38's, his truck is bad ***. countrygirl or something like that has a NBS with the 6 3 setup. im sure theres more i can't think of right now.

if you haven't done it already, you can crank your torsion bars for a little more lift

there's nothing wrong w/ the 6+3 setup. i'm running it myself on my OBS 03. The two lifts do not interfere with one another at all. Your center of gravity is going to be up there w/ the two lifts, but just keep that in mind, and take turns easy, and you'll be ok.

If you think about it though, the body lift will raise the center of gravity less than your suspension lift did...
