There was a 3" Rancho suspension lift for the first gens available, but there must have been problems since it did not last long and was soon discontinued.

There is no drop bracketry 3" suspension lift available that I have ever seen.

There are several 2" lifts available. They use new indexers to crank the T-bars beyond what the stock indexers are capable of. These kits usually then include new longer upper a-arms to correct the negative camber that cranking this far creates. Some of the kits include new boots since the stock boots don't work really well in the severe angles created.

Oh....well I don't know about all that. I wouldnt combine 2 body lift together anywho, just sounds like your asking for trouble...

But I know I saw a web site that was selling them, or used to sell them, or something like that., but I cant find it.... maybe I was dreaming :(

Superlift, Rancho, Truckin suspension, BDS , Trailmaster, etc.

I'm not sure which companies actually have them, and don't really care since they all can be problematic due to the severe halfshaft angles.

^ What he said. Too much stress on an already weak front suspension.
