Why can't I put a suspension lift and a body lift kit on a truck?

The short answer is you can. The question is should you. When you do a body lift it raises the body off the frame with longer bolts and tall bushings that are much weaker than a strong, short bolt and bushing. You end up running the risk of shearing the body right off the frame in an accident or strong impact while off roading. With all the suspension lift options out there really isn't much reason to do it. If your truck is for on road use and only light off road its ok to do. If not You'll probably end up with the body sideways on the frame.

When installing a suspension lift kit on a vehicle that already has a body lift kit how should you determine what length of shocks to use?
The body lift does not matter, it just lifts the body. The only thing you need to worry about is the length the new suspension will add to the stock suspension. For example if you put on a 4" suspension lift then you will need to add about 5" - 7" inches in the shock to make sure you have enough up and down travel within the suspension lift, and that it does not "bottom out".
