Default Lift?

I recently ordered 3/4 ton springs and aal's along with a 3" bodylift. I was wondering anybodys experience wheeling with this combo. Hill climbs,few rocks, trail riding. Any adverse affects of the body lift? Just curious to know anybodys input.

Now that you've ordered your parts, don't you think it's a bit late to ask these questions?

You have given such little info about your truck and the parts you ordered that it is hard to give you any useful data. People have run various combinations of parts that you describe. Some like. Some don't.

There was a thread on this several days ago where spring tension was discussed.

I'm suprised Miami hasn't caught and locked this up!

I was actually refering to how the body lift felt while climbing hills or rocks. I just wanted somebodys own experience with this. I know Silver and Oylier both have a small suspension and a body lift. I did search but I couldn't find what I what I was looking for.

should be plenty stable. don't see where it would be much difference than a 6in suspension lift. actually probably more stable as the stock suspension won't flex as much as a 6in suspension lift! just my 2 cents

I have not had one single issue with this setup (which I have had on my truck for over ten years now). Just take your time installing the body lift and get everything repositioned correctly and you will be good to go. Don't forget, anti-seize is your friend.
