Anyone have any Pro's or Con's of adding a body lift?

I need one so I can run 37's

Thanks in advance!

 

Pros:
Relativly cheap
Can allow you to keep stock ride (probably not applicable if you are looking to fit 37s)
Lower center of gravity vs suspension lift
More room under the hood (if you are fitting on a charger or puting a large motor in a mid size)

Cons:
Frame hangs down which can be ugly and doesn't help your ground clearance/ breakover angle
More stress on body mounts and body itself (mounts die faster and windshield cracks run faster)
Relocation of the bumpers is usually done poorly (weak)
Usually requires cutting of stock fan shroud which can lessen cooling abilities
May require cutting around floor shifters to allow proper shifting
Doesn't increase suspension performance in any way



I am biased though .... I hate body lifts....

 

have one on my truck with 38x15.50r18's and love every minute of it

That IS a sweet *** truck .. but it'd still look better without the body lift

 

yeah but it'd ride like crap with the tires sitting on the fenders at a full stop in my opinion

 

Thanks for the Pics we have the same color and everything I already have the 7" lift so that gives me a very good idea of how it will look with my mudders!!


BTW What did you regear it to? I am 3.97 or close to that, Thinking of going maybe 4.56......
