OP- I would think that the kit would save you a lot of hassle and anger over the hockey pucks.

If you can't see 6 more inches of lift plus a 10" tall roof rack... get some glasses bro! lol

Body lifts have nothing to do with the suspension. They sit between the frame and the body, leaving whatever suspension you have unchanged.

That's impossible, unless he bound something up while he installed it, and I can't even fathom what could do that. A body lift simply lifts the body off the frame. It can't effect suspension. Only thing it does is raise the center of gravity a bit, so you'll get more body lean.

I had a '98 that I installed a body lift on. More body roll, more wind resistance. The ride may stiffen a bit from larger, heavier tires. That's the only thing I can possible attribute it to.

You know Hammer, as much as I would like to agree I have to admit ever since I have put my BL lift on I swear I can feel the road and bumps more. I know I need new shocks but man I swear those blocks magnify the bumps. Maybe its the weight and new height plus gravity. IDK but I do know I can feel it more. Maybe when i get better shocks it will be better for me.
