eh its a body lift.....

if your just wanting to raise it then go ahead...

body lifts tend to lean when going around corners at speeds.... also you don't get any more articulation for actual offroading.. your parts underneath still hang low and are susceptible to damage..

for instance your oil pan and tranny will will be sitting low... so while you think you have all this height. you actually dont.. only the body is lifted...

you can see by the pic they posted they used a truck with a side step... so they hide the fact that the frame will be showing because only the body moved up.. not the frame..

but again if your just wanting a taller truck have fun!

Its not all body lift blocks. It comes with a suspension leveling kit along with body lift spacers for a total of 5 inch lift.

they sell them on Ebay for $500, i would not recommend getting one though unless your truck hardly leaves the pavement.. Will be able to clear larger tires for less dough though

ya i was by any means lookin to get one, just wanted some opinions on the product maybe raise awareness to ppl that cant afford a $3000 susp lift that there are options if all you want is to fit 35's. I personally hate body lifts.
