Has anyone lifted a Mega Cab yet?

I am looking to possibly lift my Mega Cab 4-6" in the rear only.
Is there going to be any hang ups? I thought I heard someone say it will need an adjustable carrier bearing (only on Mega Cabs) and longer shocks.

The reason for this stupid sounding lift is because I just added a new sneeker lift www.sneekerlift.com and kept the hitch to pull my R/V and now I don't have as much lifting height as I would like.

The truck will be going in for 3 extra main leafs on each side next week with a set of 8500 lb. Timbrens

The front already sits lower than the back. Are you sure your going to lift the rear only

The three extra main leafs will be SUPER stiff.

We just did a 6in tough country on a buddies mega. 37x13.50x17's, we didnt need a spacer for the carrier bearing on the driveline and his kit came with all new shocks.

I may wind up adding a 2" spacer kit up front so It don't look so stupid.

The Timbrens mount and look similar to air bags except, no air. They are a hollow rubber bushing.
I've known plenty of people with air bags and just have not been impressed with them, sure they work, if they don't blow out or have line / compresser failure.
I need somthing dependable. I often pick up a lot of stuff that I know I should'nt, just check my gallery youll catch my drift.

I haul a gooseneck with my srw single cab and a leveling kit and have had a combined weight (trailer and tractor/implement) of 23Klbs, theirs no way id trade them for a piece of rubber, my truck gets worked pretty hard, and i have them at 100PSI before a sledpull, and i havent had any issues.

How about some pictures of these lifted Mega Cabs. I want to see if it'd be that big of a difference to install a 3" Lift.
