    First of all. Fabtech and Ruff Country are drop bracket lifts. Another word for GIANT SPACER LIFT. They provide no extra suspension travel on our trucks. The reason they dont go through cv's is cause the front differential is dropped lower. So you dont gain clearance with a drop bracket, maybe a little but not very much.

    Rear blocks are the worst thing you could do to your leafs. If you want me to show you a picture of my snapped leafs caused by 3" blocks ill be happy to.

    I HIGHLY recommend you DONT stack your spacer with a drop bracket lift. NOT A GOOD IDEA! Especially since your truck is over 300,000 miles

    So you're going to put the 3" revtech lift on top of the 5" ruff country lift correct?

    I personally would only put the body lift on the front of the truck so the bro lean will have a bro lean.

    2.5" lift, ARE Shell, Ducks Unlimited Rubber Floor Mats. ROGUE badges,
    The best possible outcome would be to go 3 to 5" up front. While leaving the rear stock, then adding a body lift to preserve that awesome bro lean while being even higher off the ground.

    This would make it more difficult for big girls to get in the truck as well as easier loading/unloading of the dirt bikes.

    It would also be the ULTIMATE in off road performance and ready for MOAB!

    why do you want to waste the money on a 6" DB lift any way? it will just be more fab work to cut out if in fact you are going to do an SAS, and you could just save the 2g the lift is going to cost and use all of that for the SAS

    The SAS clearly won't be as offroad capable as the stacked lift he will be running.
