6" susp. lift and body lift?

I'm looking to probably get a Rough Country 6" suspension lift but want to know if there is a body lift for the fj? Just saw a 18" lift combo (12" suspension/ 6" body) on the new Tundra with 38's tires! Awesome looking! I'm not really looking to go off roading with it, mostly for show. Right now I have 22's on my truck and just waiting for the Dune Grapplers to wear out before I change the look. I belong to a club here in Vegas and I'm part of the street side of our club while the other administrator takes care of the offroading. I plan on putting 35's or 36's with 20" rims on it 15.5" wide. So I'm mostly after the look like most of the Fords and Chevys around here with the lifts and tires. So if anyone has any info on body lifts it would be greatly appreciated. The big picture is of our club today at a 4 wheel event @ Bass Pro Shops in Vegas, my truck is on left and small picture to bottom right.

Well, a body lift is just that .. a body lift .. Not for me .. If you are going to spend the $$$ do it right and get the REAL lift and then IF and when you sell it, you will get some of your $$ back out of it, and you will be able to wheel it.

Good luck ... And FAB-TECH is the way to go .. Ditch the rough country ....

Like I said before, it's for show, and I want to be able to fit 36's without any body chopping. I heard no problems with rough country but on the other hand, I've heard a lot of bad stories about pro comps! I'm looking for 6" of suspension and about 3" of body or more. I bought my truck to baby and not thrash it! I was one of the first people in Las Vegas to get an Fj 3/25/06, and I plan to keep it for some time so I am not worried about resale value.
