6" of BODY lift is a death wish. I would think the body would separate from the frame under moderate-heavy braking. The farther the body and frame are away from each other, more leverage is placed on the mounting points, thus causing something to break/bend.

Thanks tomkat..
so what could i do to make my truck a little higher?

would that lift kit i posted below be safe?

but if these aren't safe what other way would i have to make the truck a little higher?

Oh, OK. I'm sure plenty of testing was done before it was made available. It will help out plenty with tire clearance, just not any off road benefit other than larger tires. Just try to get brackets to raise bumpers as well or they look kinda corny hanging low...
