the summit Body lift requires welding. so unless you weld, then go with trailmaster or performance acc.

Flatlander... it is Summit's brand. They do also sell PA for 123 bucks... I think that is the one I am going to get.

Not meaning to take over your thread, but I just stepped over that cliff and finally ordered the body lift. I told carparts.com about the summit price, and they beat it by 10%. Cost $122 w/shipping. Plus, I ordered the gap guards too.

PA-863 is the PA 3" body lift
PA-862 is the PA 2" body lift

Remember that summit has free shipping and carparts.com has the most expensive shipping anywhere. Also I have always had better luck with summit when it comes to packing and delivery time. Summit has never taken over 2 days to get it to my door where as carparts.com I have waited 6 weeks once.
