Suspension help Please..!!

I have an 01 supercab with a 3 inch body lift,leveling kit and 315/75/16..im not too sure exactly how high it is not but i know the tires added a little more to the 3 inch BL.How i want to add some more height but i dont want to get too extreme like a 8-9 inch lift etc..although i LOVE the mega lift look,i think its too much for me..anyway i can can get another 2-3 inch lift somehow?? do they make a 3 inch suspension lift..??? or what can you guys suggest??

oops i did miss that you have a leveling kit! i don't believe they make 3 inch suspension lifts, if they did they would cost about as much as the 4" or 5" kits depending on where you look. it is all in how much you are willing to spend to just get it done, or if you want quality under it.

youre probably right,i wonder if upgrading to heavy duty shocks/springs etc would make any difference then the stock i have on there now..

w/ aftermarket torsion keys (which i'd suggest removing, there bad for the truck) you're only option to gain 3" more of lift is a full 6" kit

I'd keep the body lift and add a 4 to 6 inch suspension lift.

Yes, if you want to go bigger remove the "leveling kit" and install a full suspension lift. Otherwise your gonna be staying at the same height. Either way though I suggest removing your "level" and doing it the right way.

Read the link in my sig it should help you out some.

By math, you have 5.5" of lift (3 body + 2.5 keys) and want 2-3" more which equals 8.5" of lift

now you don't want 9" of lift as it's too tall.....


I'm starting to think this thread is pointless.

yes you remove the level to put on the other kit. your original post is conflicting....

3in BL
+
2-3in

=5.5- 6in

the only way to get more is go to a 6in lift
+
3in BL

= 9. if you dont want that then ull need to remove the BL and rock the 6in

9 really isnt that tall...just do it and run 40s
