    shouldn't need any bushings. 12 lift pucks is what you'll need along with extended bolts for the mounts

    6" suspension lift, if true, would be a drop-bracket lift where the truck's front frame crossmembers are cut off and aftermarket ones welded in. A few companies (Fabtech, Pro Comp, BDS) make this type of lift. Can you attach a picture, particularly of the lower control arm mounts? Usually you wouldn't need a body lift on top of a 6" suspension lift.

    It would also be helpful to see the rubbing for yourself. If the tire is rubbing on the body, a body lift may alleviate it. If it's rubbing on the frame (like on the cab mounts), a body lift wouldn't help.

    I'd maybe try a 1" body lift first.

    And
