    Been looking around with no luck finding any info. Found a really good deal on a 6" DB lift kit but already have 3" OME.

    Currently, I have a 3" OME lift with 886s up front and Dakars in the rear. What would happen if I were to install a 6" lift with the suspension setup I already have? Would I need the front strut spacers that come with the DB lifts? Would adding them give me 9 inches and too much angle on my CVs? Would I need longer rear shocks? Not really sure how the two would work together...

    I know sticking with the 3" OME is better for wheeling but after seeing the deal on the 6" kit I'm just curious as to how the two would clash???

    It's the same kit as this: I talked to someone at RC and they told me that the lift was intended for stock trucks and cannot be stacked with theOME struts/coils/leaf pack

    The 6" is a Drop Bracket kit, you will have to cut out your subframe and weld in the new ones. That kit looks decent, minus the spacers. Stay away from those things man. The best option is to junk that spacer and get extended coil overs that compensate for the 6" that the drop bracket lowered.

    SO.. the kit is good but double to price for some coil overs-thats what i did and went with Icon Extended coil overs from downsouthmotorsports for around $1200
