    My current setup is what I believe to be the first Ishock kit sold on here. Still very happy with it. I'm on the TSB add a leaf with 1" block in the rear and the Ishock coilovers with the Ishock UCA's. Sitting a very level 3". But...I am getting the urge to go higher.

    I know I have a solid mid travel setup and a lot of folks here believe that 3" is the most ideal setup for our trucks. I'm not looking to break the bank here, and I'm pondering going to a DB kit to get to 6". I'm wondering if I could go with something like a Pro Comp stage one (or similar) and run my front coils and rear shocks with the DB kit. Seems like I'd end up with 6" and much better suspension than comes with those kits. I'm sure there may be limitations here that I'm not aware of so please help me out here.

    I'm also looking for other options to go higher with my current setup. I'm not dead set on getting to 6", but would like to go higher.

    I could go with an all pro 3" leaf pack in the rear which would get me another inch back there, but then I'd need to get the front up another inch. I'm sure it would be sacrilegious to put a spacer on top of a coil over, but that's a thinking outside the box idea.

    What do you guys think are solid options for going bigger with my current setup?

    3" lift EIBACH coils w/ 5100's front, OME/ Dakar leaf springs w/ toytec adjustable shackles at 1.5" and 5125's out back. 33x10.5x15 KM2's Relentless DIY steel bumper.
    Id recommend the all pro 3" or even the expos if you carry lots of weight. For the front you could do a 1/2" tps to gain 1" lift.
