Body Lift?

Pros? cons? I just want it to look good and have a little bit more clearance but for it not to be too mean to my wallet. Which ones would u guys recommend?

The only GOOD Body Lift is Performance Accessories and you can buy it for under $200 and gap gaurds for somewhere around $100

Depending if the truck is a 4x4 or a 4x2 that will tell how big a tire you can run.

4x4 + Body Lift = 35's

4x2 + Body Lift + Leveling Kit = MAYBE 35's

I agree. I'm on my third truck with a PA body lift.

And i highly doubt you will ever have a problem with the body lift.

Ive seen some pretty back accidents with trucks with BL's and they all fair rather well.

I still havent seen one break a block. or shear a bolt

but i bet is still possible. But if you are going that fast and hit something your probaly gonna be dead anyway.

They are not hard to install on the 97-03 F-150's. It is just time consuming and tedious.

body lift installs aren't as much difficult as they are time consuming. give yourself 2 full days so you can take your time and you and a buddy can do it no problem.

i had a 3" BL on my ranger (as well as a 5.5" suspension lift) and i never had any issues with it. I have a 3" BL in my garage for my F150 but cant afford tires right now

Get the PA body lift. We installed it in about 5 hours(4 guys). I would definitely get the gap guards
