No dinger, a body lift kit lifts the body off of the truck frame, it doesn't make lift from the suspension like a leveling kit. A body lift kit spaces the frame from the body of the truck. A few members on the site have it installed. You could install a leveling kit AND a body lift kit because they don't have anything to do with each other. A body lift kit doesnt really lift a truck though, the whole frame, suspension, engine, and everything stays the same, just the body gets lifted. The only true thing a body lift does is allow you to run a much larger tire, since it brings the truck body up and out of the way of the tires. Do a quick google search on different ways to lift a pickup truck and you should find a good site that shows you the difference.
