The body lift also requires trimming/notching out the rear bumper for the hitch.I had to trim mine!The steering shaft extension is not hard to install,you just have to brace the steering wheel in its normal position while installing it,or it wheel not be centered.I purchased the 3" performance accessories body lift.
when i put my 3'' body lift on ihad to trim my front bumper where my tow hooks went cuz the stock bolts made it sit slanted but i got it fixed. did urs do that? i cant wait to put a 6'' lift on!!! u got a nice truck

I went ahead and ordered the 2.5" spacers as far as the lift goes. That's all I really want for now. I just got some bigger tires (33's) but now they are going to look tiny again with the lift but I don't care right now.
Now I'm just waiting for the kit to come in the mail. A shop I found in Clearwater said they would install them and do the front end alignment for $200 OTD. Sound good to you guys?

There are members on this forum who have reported problems with front spacers. I conducted a search and there are many threads on the subject that are discouraging. I haven't decided if I want to take a chance and install spacers. I would like a 3-4 inch lift, but I don't have a few thousand laying around right now. I have 33" tires on my 2011 Ram 4x4 QC and they fit great for a non-lifted truck.

I really don't want my truck to be level. I like the way it is now with the front lower than the back. I just now realized the kit I bought is 2.5" in the front and 2" in the rear so yea, it's probably going to be level. I'm going to invest in some airbags in the rear to help with squatting while I'm towing something.

I'm not sure how well it compares to Superchips but it's probably a tie between the two anyways. They both have their own strengths. The reason why I got the Predator was because it was $290 whereas I saw most SC's going for $350+
