ok now with the body lift and that size tire I didn't have to move or modify my front bumber at all, but the back side of ur inner fenderwell will need trimmed up about 3". I just took a sawzall and hacked them up till they quit rubbin. If u don't the tread will snag the plastic and bend it up if u back up while turning. As for the 3" bodylift....cake job, me an 2 buddies(all very mechanically inclined) did my in just under 4 hrs. Perfomance accesories sends a very detailed destruction manual with the lift and states it to be an 8 hr. job which i think anyone could do. Hope this helps
