the body lift itself will not change the way your truck rides right now, because it doesnt touch the suspension. However, if your going to be changing to even bigger tires then it could change a little. Towing, will be the same because your hitch doesnt move. You cant tow off the bumper with a body lift though, which I dont know anyone who does now days anyways

thats what i thought i talked to a shop and they said it would make my truck ride even worse! does the hitch still stay right under the bumper or will there be a 3inch gap? also will i still have the tow hooks in the front as long as i get one with bumper brackets? i dont see why someone wouldnt move there bumper up with it anyways
