2" lift question

I already have a 2-1/2" leveling kit in the front, but I would like to go another 2" front and rear. They tell you not to add any other lift to the leveling kit, has anyone done this? Or would it be better to get a new 4" in the front and 2" in the back?

Or what about a body lift, what problems does that cause shifter wise on a manual trans?

You'll need to also deal with the misalignment of the steering column as well. If I was to lift my truck that's what I would do, a modest body lift only, it would keep the center of gravity down.

Pretty tough to get a body lift for a diesel, guys - unless you are gonna go all custom...

Personally - I'd say just get a real lift of the height you want to go!
