It's not that I don't like suspension lifts, after everything else I've done I'd never sell the idea to my wife because of the cost. A body lift is inexpensive enough for her to be OK with it.

I see no one voted for the air compessor thing. I voted for the 3.92's, but, just out of interest, what is the air compressor thing all about. Is it one of those suspension mods that allows your truck to bounce up and down to the beat of the music? Is this what I see in the music videos? The extent of my suspension knowledge goes all the way up to spring rate, roll, pitch, etc. Please explain.

The air suspension lift is just to level the truck when hauling a load. It acts just like the air bags do in a semi-truck. When you place the load on the truck, the rear end sags down. You put more air into the bags andthe truck levels allowing for more even distribution of the load weight and better braking wit hall four wheels. When you remove the load, you let some air out and the truck is back level again for normal driving. The compressor does not have the pistons that do the hopping type of motion that any RAM 4X4 owner would not be caught dead with.

TMS Bill,
Actually I had not looked into Top Gunz Customz yet. I added them to my favorites and before I do any lifting (Body or suspension) I'll be sure to check them out.

Thanks.

yea the suspension lift is a much better lift inmy personal opinion and also much easier to install also in my opinion..... i have not done a body lift but my friend said they are a PIA and expensive to have done.... i have done suspension lifts and they are not very hard at all.... just my 2 cents
