Must be something that the shop can't work on. Like they won't touch body lifted trucks or something. What state are you in? We can check the lift laws but that sounds crazy, I'd get the 6 inch and just do it yourself.

most suspension lift dealer will not even sell a lift if they know your truck has a body lift.
I know when I priced my 3 and 5" kit out Rocky mountain, 4 wheel parts and some one else asked if I had a body lift.
Most of them post it on their website.
the companies dont want the two associated with each other.

But they arent illegal in any state that I know of
