people with more than 6" of lift

you guys with more than 6" of lift that are running the 4-6" pitman arm, hows your experience with them? any issues? i wanna run my 5.5 superlift with a 2-3" bodylift. any problems doin that?

I ran the 5.5 superlift with turned beams for a few years. I had to have the sway bar hooked up or it would death wobble! Other than that it was fine. I am not a fan of body lifts, so never had one. I did a SAS because of the problems with large tires and little hubs. Still got the droped arm with no problems, with no sway bars. I can run 70 with one finger no problems.

Wont the 5.5" superLift be enough to run like 35"s (without a body lift) ? Cauz I think anything larger than that, and you'll be blowing up hubs and axle shafts. Plus rock crawling is all about keeping that CG low anyway So try to avoid doing the body lift, plus it saves you money

If you're asking about the bodylift with your 5.5", it doesn't affect anything.

Your steering even at 5.5" will still see a dramatic improvement by swapping to the larger Skyjacker drop arm though (pt# FA600).

so basically the longer arm isn't needed for more than 6". i may be running f150 seats instead of a body lift.

Your steering will only be lifted 5.5", the body lift wont lift your steering higher. Yes, I would go with the drop pitman arm, (I believe anything 4" and taller). Also get the superrunner steering system with your lift, I didn't and wish I had.
