quick question about lift and bilsteins

im going to be installing a 3 inch body lift pretty soon.
i was origanlly gonna get the AS 2.5" leveling spacer but decided to go with
the adjustable bilsteins. my question is...when i set the shocks to 2 inch, since im doing a 3" body lift,
will the front end still be lifted 2 inches after i lift the truck?? my step dad
asked me this today and it confused me lol

Lifting the body off the frame has no effect on the suspension height. So if you do a 3" body lift, you are raising the whole trucks body 3" from the stock height. If you level the front suspension 2" on top of the body lift, that will add up to a total of 5" lift for the front and 3" in the back (only 3" since you aren't changing the suspension in the rear)

Make sense now?
