What do you plan to do about the steering extension, transmission linkage, and the transfercase lever extension? What are you going to make the blocks out of?

Making your own body lift is really never a good idea, escpecailly since really well engineered and thouroughly tested kits are readily available for not much money.

Could always go with a 5" suspension lift kit and a 3" body lift kit.
