6 inch suspension lift help!
Well I advise you to call BDS on Monday morning and educate yourself as I did on this matter. The lfit kit already comes with 1/2 " washers that go inbetween the coil top plate. I took that plate out, as advised by BDS and raised the front up less than 3/4 " more. I could have gone 1" as BDS stated would be OK. So while you may be educated on vehicles. BDS makes the lift and has engineers whom I spoke with. So I guess believe whom you want. But the question at hand is and is being answered YES it can be done safely.
If there is a kit design that you could pull it off with, it would probably be the BDS as the kit drops the differential, making the CV angles close to stock levels even with a 6" lift.
So your level is basically raising the angles about what a level alone on a stock truck would. Yeah I can see it with this kit as long as the level kit isn't a really high one.
BUT, this is not the case with most kits out there, so a blanket statement of "you can have a level kit and suspension lift" is a dangerous one to make. You'd never be able to pull it off with say a Fabtech kit on a torsion front truck. Guys are breaking CVs with just that kit alone.
There is a reason the list price of the BDS 6" kit is close to a grand higher than the Fabtech 6" kit and a good many others out there.
I get the same sh*t all the time myself when people ask me why I spent more for my 4" kit than many 6" kits...

BDS is more expensive, but they offer a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser and they're made in the USA. They also recommend the correct tire and wheel specs for the amount of lift. www.bds-suspension.com . You might pay more, but you get more. When I have enough money, I'm going with a BDS 6" kit for my '07 QC Thunder Road.
