Default Lift Question

So i have a 3 inch bodylift on my truck already, and i wanted to add a 3 inch suspension lift aswell. and i was just wondering if i need to modify stuff like brake lines etc? i didnt know if the three inch lift max only counted just for suspension or combined. and input will be greatly appreciated ^.^

A 3" suspension is the max you can go with stock lower control arms, the 3" body lift won't effect the front end geometry at all but I'm not sure if the brake line would be long enough if your suspension went into a full droop.

^^What he said.

Call the company that you are considering ordering from, get a knowledgeable rep on the line, and ask your question.

I'm running the 3in BL and a 2in leveling kit on mine and I will tell you that my brake lines are almost maxed out. The real problems are the vaccuum lines going to the front diff actuator. I had to get longer lines because mine popped off the first time I put my truck on a lift at work. I would still recommend getting extended stainless braided lines anyways since our trucks are over ten years old and the rubber doesnt last forever
