Well I did a search and couldn't find any info on putting both a 3" BL and a 3" SL on the same truck. Is there anyone that's got both on their truck? Will that give me room for 35x12.5" tires? What else do you have to do to the truck as far as steering and anything? Thanks for the info.

I am running a 3" SL and 3"BL with 35x12.5 BFGs. I am also running the Calmini SS. Here is a pic. Also had to trim metal on the fenders.

looks like that's the way to roll. looks WAY more business oriented than just a BL.

how much for that setup right there?

Well I have the Calmini 3" SL, and switched out their AAL with the SLR 3 pack. It is the AC BL, and the Calmini SS. Tires are 35x12.5r15 BFG Mud Terrains. The rims are 15x8" with 3.75" back spacing. Total on my setup was ~$2,000.

I am also working on rebuilding a D44 for the Calmini SAS. I don't know of anyone with the SAS that also has a BL. Once I finish that, total lift will be ~8".

NorthBayRP,
Damn, that rig looks sick. I'm going with the camini 3" SL(without the add a leafs and shocks), Spencer Low Racing 10 Leaf 2" lift springs, 33" BFG Mudd Terrains, and a 2" AC Body lift. Have the calmini winch bumper too. Should look pretty simlar to yours. Are there any other unseen mods to your truck ex; regearing, motor, driveline, etc.? Thanks,
-Eric

Yeah, the "3+3" lift (3"suspension + 3" body) is really common since you can't get any more than a 3" suspension lift for these trucks (obviously not counting the SAS).

Unless you're really committed to getting 35's, you'd be better off with 33's - they are much easier to fit.
