Default Show me pics of your 3" Body Lift

I sit stock height with 285's. I am interested in seeing what your guy's rigs look like with 3" body lifts. Anyone have just a body lift on their truck? I want to see how much gap there is between the bed and frame and how much is seen through the wheel well. Also, I am hoping that my nerf bars will be used more if they are 3" lower than they are now from the body.

Our trucks have wheel well liners (unless you took yours out) from the factory, so you can't see any gap between the frame and body. Our trucks hide a bodylift very well. YOu can look at the pics in my gallery. I have a 3" suspension lift too, but you get the idea anyway about how unnoticable the body lift looks.

+1 on that. i have a 6" suspension and a 3" body and you wouldnt never know the body was lifted other than i dnt have the back bumper brought up with the body bc then my hitch hangs low and looks rediculous, so i made my own gap gaurd to go inbetween the tailgate and bumper

why not just go with a suspensio lift?

Cost is usually a big factor, and if you just want the look or mabey just to run a bigger tire.
