Default Body lift for ecoboost

So I got my rcx 6" lift put on, and my bilstien 5100's will be going on as soon as I get home for another couple of inches. I'm wanting to do a 3" PA body lift, but everything I have read says their lift won't work on ecoboost trucks. Has anybody tried this, or know of any other body lifts that will work?

I have a friend that had a 6" lift and a 3" body and it looked good, IMO. I'm wanting to run 37's with a deep offset, I think it'll look good

It probably won't look too bad if you get a gap guard kit and relocate the bumpers.

Too bad no one makes a 1.5" lift like they did for my silverado. 1.5 fid the job, but the gaps were very minimal. Oh and it included the rear bumper bracket lift kit. Email zone or rough country and see if they are thinking of making a kit.
I seem to recall someone using a 3" pa body lift on a new Eco on these forums.

Nasty- I do plan on buying the gap guards, and the PA kit comes with bumper brackets

Half_ton- there are a couple guys that have them, but all I've seen have the 5.4 or 5.0's in them... I'm thinking the Eco has something to do with the intercooler
