Default Body lifts

Do any companies make a body lift higher than a 3 inch for a 2000 new model chevy truck?

I think Fabtech may offer a 4" body lift, but that's as high as you're going to get with a body lift

usually you just buy 2 3inch body kits and cut the other blocks in half and stack them on top of the 3 inch to get 4 1/2 inch body lift. I wouldnt recomend going higher then that. A guy around here had a 6 inch body lift and he rearended someone and broke all the body mounts and moved the whole body foward about 4 feet. heres a link twised suspension makes billet body mounts to whatever size you want heres the link: http://twistedsuspensiondesigns.com/bodylift.htm

I would stay away from stacking lift blocks, if you want it higher than 3 inches add a suspension lift. If you are just looking for 4-5 inches of lift you can do the 3 inch body lift and add a torsion bar leveler kit in the front for an additional 1.5 inches. Thats what I have.
