That would help for sure...might even help a little with the wear and tear on the front end that the oversize tires cause.. i know my whole front end wore out pretty quick once i installed the 35"s , I then replaced everything with lifetime warranty parts. I thought about getting some 37"s but I am really happy with the 35"s .

I build suspension, and fabricate for a living. I've installed literally hundreds of toy lifts, and repaired almost as many. I know exactly what I'm talking about.

But, you tend to be a bit biased, and, I will bet dollars to donuts your response to this post will simply reinforce that point.

You build trucks for an entirely different purpose. You also have a significantly less limited budget. The tuff country stuff works. It does what it is supposed to. It doesn't have to cost a thousand bucks to make it 'work right'.

That said, I DO agree that adding the body lift, simply to raise it up some more, and NOT to fit larger tires..... is kind of a waste of effort.... but, if it is simply the LOOK that the OP is going for, well, its his truck, and he can do as he damn well pleases.

Yeah really...I couldn't resist ...the way you were coming off.....all I could here in my head was Christian Bale . I didn't need my body lift to clear larger tires...but i got a good price on it and it made for more working space under and around the truck. I really like the look and with the weight of this pig it is not top heavy . Sorry we are not all "Professional Fabricators "

Working space? Dude, the frame, the axles, everything is going to sit at the exact same height. All its going to do is lift the BODY off the frame. Ur gonna have some sweet gaps.

And yeah, it will make even more top heavy because the weight is being shifted up.

And I don't do my work myself? I never said anybodys truck looks like ****. Find that quote. Chill man. We're all entitled to our opinions. If you're happy with your truck, good on you. Who cares? Its just the internet.
