don't do it, your Center of gravity will be to hight. the added height will be to much stress for your body mounts. there is a reson that no one sells a bl over 3". stick with the 3" body lift and just crank your T bars for a few more inches

never heard of anyone fitting 35's without the 3" suspension lift along with it. Probably just gonna be able to do 33's.

I've heard of people running 35's with the body lift and cranked torsion bars. I almost did it but realized its too big and too much stress on the front end. But jeez man, what the hell were you thinking with a 6" body lift? Were you gonna put a sleeper cab UNDER your friggin bed?

How deep can that pond possibly be?

6" wouldn't even be legal. DOT limits body lifts to 3" max. Anything higher would never pass any state vehicle safety inspection.

Hockey pucks are a big "No-No" Most states will fail trucks with them. I've seen them crack.

I got a chance to look at state laws for lifted trucks, and I saw that most have law limiting body lifts to 3". Better check your state. Besides with a 6" body lift, you are gonna have to do a lot to make it work.

3" is the federal DOT max limit for body lifts. No state could exceed it with their own regulations.
