Default Lift Info Needed

I have a 2010 1500 Laramie and i am looking to lift it to fit some 35's. I am really torn between getting a 4" suspension lift or getting a 3" body lift and levleing the front. I would really like to save some money doing a body lift but have also heard some bad things about the supports becoming uneven and the bed crinkling with weight in it. I could really use some opinions/information about these two subject. Thanks !

You'll get a variety of responses. Personally I don't think that body lifts that tall are stable and typically they look terrible because the frame rail is exposed below the truck. You also have to contend with moving your exhaust up, your hitch is lower and you'll lose your tow hooks if you have them. I went with a suspension lift myself and that is what I would recommend, unfortunately lift isn't cheap and in my opinion should be done correctly. There is a 1.25" body lift out for our trucks currently and I think that would be about the most that I would be willing to body lift a vehicle.

I'm for the 4" suspension over a 3" body lift and spacer in the front any day. There's arguments for both sides and horror stories for either, it all matters on what youre going to need the extra clearance for. I've had body lifts.... i'll never do it again.
