I have an 2004 1500 4x4 with a 6 inch fabtech suspension lift and a 3 inch pa body lift. I want to know if anyone knows anything else I can do to lift the front end up any more and then put some blocks in the rear. I was going to get the torsion keys but the truck place said they would not work with the suspension lift.
Keys with a suspension lift is a no-no and especially with the poorly designed Fabtech lift which already puts a strain on the CV axles.
IMO if you want more lift, it's either time to fab in a SFA or trade the truck in on a 2500...

I got the same opinion as you, hammer.
The only "right" way to get more lift in the front with the IFS would be to install a new suspension lift designed for more lift. But, the problem is that the IFS should not have a tire on it that would be sized properly for amount lift IMO.
Anywhere from a few hundred up to several thousands... all depends on if you have a spare axle and parts laying around and are a good fabricator, or if you are paying someone to fabricate and install "new" products.
SFA - Solid Front Axle. Basically you'd be converting your truck to a 2500. I'd be dropping in a heavier rear diff too. With older trucks it's not a really hard job, but with all the electronics and b.s. on the newer ones I'd imagine it would be pure hell
