What body lift did you go with and how much did it run you?

Man the more I look at your truck the more it grows on me.....just some nice rims and tires BFG Mud and whatever tires in a 20 in plenti, not even sure what sizes are available I have found Chrysler really does make some obscure rims like the one I had on my 03 Durango, very hard to find nice tires for it. I do not like these Wrangler HP's, Dry rot in less than 3 years on my Durango and nobody would step up so I just bought some new tires.

Did you paint your grill?

Ya right from the dealer....no idea how much they cost I got them under the handicap program so I imagine he billed 750...the max they pay. I hope not because they don't cost that much but actually here in Canada they probably do cost that.

The lift is a custom job. It was lifted back in Nov, before lifts for the 09 were available. The dealer had some guy in Patterson GA do it. I think the price was around 3K.

Thanks for the info on the flares.

I'm thinking that is a 4" suspension lift, and not a 4" body lift. A body lift of 4" would look horrible and be unsafe. Plus, a body lift wouldn't be anywhere near $3K, even if it was a 4" body lift.

Look at the picture of his truck, it is indeed a body lift.
The dealer gets charged an outrageous amount and then charges the owner even more, i used to install aftermarket car audio and accessories for dealerships, the prices were through the roof but people didnt care if it was financed with the vehicle

Actually, the lift didn't cost me anything. The dealership added about 8k to the truck, and I payed under sticker for it.
