I know on a Chevy body lifts look like crap because the fram sits so low. I have not personally seen a body lift done on a dodge. I just wanted to see what you guys thought about how they look with the fillers and everything, or should I just go with a 3-4in lift? (remember I am on a budget[:'(])I don't want to put 37s on it anymore because of gas and its just more stuff to break!I'll just save up for my CJ.

Thats a negative on the body lift. I have never seen one done on a dodge but Im sure it'll look just as goofy as all the others out there.

RE: Your take on a body lift look.
you can see body lifts just as easily on the dodge. you can almost hide them with a big set of steps ans wheel well liners, but you can still def. tell

It does look funky and it can mess with the linkages too if its really tall. Its just a really cheap way to lift a truck and I think it shows.

suspension is the only way to go if you want it done right.

RE: Your take on a body lift look.
tiresmoketravisposted a pic of his truck a few days ago that had a body lift and coil spacers on his truck. You couild definitely tell it was a body lift. Let me see if I can find the pic.

Here ya go, here's the thread.

I really can't recommend a body lift. Save the pennies and do it right. I would almost rather cut sheet metal and install fender flares to fit bigger tires before I'd install a body lift.

spend the extra 300??? WTF

Either yall spend way too much for a body lift or the susp lifts are dirt cheap *** ones. Please someone show me where there's only a 300 diff between a body lift and a susp lift. Body lift kits are around 3-500 bucks, a susp kit is 1500-2500 not counting labor.

Shheeeeeiittt!! Obviously you haven't checked out Daystar!!!

They'll get you rollin' 12" higher with nothin' but polyurethane bushings and spacers.

Stack a couple of blocks together in the back.....heck stack a few spacers up front too.

100% pure performance.

Ramit, it is $500 for a body lift. It is $800-900 for the suspention lift I would want. Thats where the $300 is.
