leveling kit, cranking coilovers if you have them with your current lift setup. But i just say screw it and go with a 12inch Rize

Where in NJ are you ?

i have the same setup , 6" BDS lift, 3" Body lift but with a 1.5" leveling kit on top, plenty of pics in my albums if you wanna take a gander.

do you have the spacer lift or the lift with new struts ?

There are a couple things you can do. I asked this same question about 6 months ago. If you switch from a spacer to coilover's you're looking at about $1200. I wasnt really excited about stacking a leveling spacer on top of my 6'' so I got a set of Rancho Quiklift Struts for about $350 on ebay. You'll have to take them in to have your old springs put on unless you have a machine. They wont go on with manual compressors, I promise!
Then throw an add a leaf in the back with the 3'' blocks that come with your kit and you're out the door for $600 and you're at pretty close to 12'' all the way around. Well, you'll need an alignment and some taller tires but thats happening any way you go!
Good luck!!


Funny how when we start out we always think..."oh 6'' will be plenty"... yeah right! lol
