hey everybody, i am looking to lift my truck alot bigger than what it is now, with a 3 inch spacer on top of my spring in the front and an add a leaf in the back. i want to add a six inch lift, but i want to keep the spacer and add a leaf if that is possible? i also want a three inch body lift
if anybody knows if this is possible please let me know and the brand of the six inch that would work

 

If you want 12 inches of lift, just go with the 12 inch Rize lift.

 

I wouldn't do a 3" spacer, 2.5" is the most I'd put on. I'm not a big fan of the body lift b/c it shows to much of ur chassis. Also if you have 12" of lift you will need to run 40's. Anything smaller won't look right. IMO if you want a high lift spend the money and do it with a 12" Rize.

 

Great minds think alike.

 

well to get the most lift, cheaply and safely, here's what i would do....6 inch pro comp, bilsteins shocks set at 2" lift, and then a body lift. you'd net 11 inches of lift, don't do the spacer stack, it works, just not advised.

i agree on the 12" rize but the base kit is almost 7 grand, with the setup up i said above, if you didn't all the labor not even 2 grand.

 

I have a 6" suspension and 3" body lift with add a leaf in rear and adjustable coils up front. I am running 40" Mickey T's, with only minor triming of the plastic front valance. Good Luck!!

 

BLACKOUT16, I guess it will just depend how much money you have to spend. You can do it with the BL. Everyone has different opinions on a BL. I prefer not to see the chassis, just remeber thats my opinion. lol Personally if I had to go back and lift my truck I'd do an 8" Rize with the 2" Bilstein shocks and run 38's. I don't know how true it is and there are many on here who do it, but I read on here a few times that it wouldn't be recommended to run 40's unless it's a solid axle front end.

 

hey blackout 16, I'm running the 8" rize with a 2.75 coilspacer and a 2" add-a-leaf, but my rear end was lower than the front and looked like crap. so i also went with the shorter spring shackles for an extra 1.5" in the rear and now i'm leveled out. I'm running 38.5 **** Cepeck tires with no rubbing or trimming. Before i installed the coil spacers i was having some rubbing issues. I personally do not like body lifts so i went that route to avoid the body lift. the only issue with the coil spacer that i found is when i pull a trailer with alot of weight which pushed the back of my truck down my cv joints click while turning. The coil spacers are makind the angles to sharp. But towing nothing everything is just fine so far.

 

hey Rock Crusher, wat do u get for fuel mileage out of them 40's and do u have 4.88's? bc im doin the same amount of lift but cant decide between 38's or 40's

 

your gonna spend roughly:
$1100 for BL installed
$2k for pro comp installed.
$300 for bilsteins and AAL (can't double stack spacers)
thats $3400 right there for 11" of lift for that you can get a 8" rize and 2" spacer and have 10" of lift w/ no Body lift and run 38's.
HUGE tires aren't for IFS, sure you can do it, if you never offroad you might not have a problem but if you torture your truck off road you might snap axles or destroy the front diff
then you gotta gear, $1500. wheels/tires aren't gonna be cheap either.
