    I apologize if this has been discussed before but is the Miller Cat Shield compatible with an OEM Factory Lift?


    Thanks!

    I have the catshield and I don't see how the suspension and the shield itself will be problematic with one another. Goodluck.

    Thanks!

    I was just concerned about the disclaimer on their website that read:


    "Will not work with Lift Kits that modify thechassis crossmember!"

    That has to do with 6in or greater drop bracket lifts. They cut the crossmember for the driveshaft to pass through and install another crossmember below it to support the suspension. With that stacking, the cat shield will not work.

    Normal lifts are not a problem as noted.

    Thanks. I plan on getting both the factory lift kit and the Miller Cat.

    Yes. I saw that. Like @sbx22 said. You will not have a problem. Just giving you the reason for that disclaimer.
