I wouldnt monkey with a body lift. Both my brother and a friend had em...even on freeway enterance ramps with not alot of curve, the trucks felt like they were gonna tip over. Over the course of time, with the body roll the things started creaking and squeaking. Unstable and irritating in my opinion. Id save a few bucks and do it right, suspension lift.

Body lifts are more complicated than suspension. You start lifting the body and not the frame you can run into wiring and plumbing issues.

Why a body and not a suspension?

I just referenced an old comparison on the different lift types I wrote up about 5 months ago for someone the other day. Here is the link to it. Read...

What are the warranty issues with both?

obviously a supsension lift would say, void your a arms, if you replaced them. But probably not your tranny. When you install a body lift, what will that void on your warranty? Everything?
