I would advise against body lift if you can help it, However suspension lifts are expensive, If I was gonna buy a body lift It would have to be a PA (performance accessories). I think it is the best body lift you can get

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend a body lift, maybe a 1" but not a 3". Personally I think they are tacky looking on trucks/jeeps. But thats my two cents and its your money

Man you guys are a bunch of body lift haters. I have had 3 trucks with body lifts, installed several more and have NEVER seen or heard of first hand a problem with any of them. I always hear about somebody that knows a guy whos cousin had the body slide off when he hit a road reflector and it killed a bus full of Nuns and Orphans, but never from an actual person with a real first hand story.

The question was "Where do yall feel is the best place to get one as far as quality and cost" and the answer is not "Dude, I think body lifts suck". The answer is a person, a location, a website or silence.

My answer to you is Summitt Racing. I called their tech support and we looked at the Summitt brand body lift comparing it to the Performance Accessories kit and it is the same kit, same manufacturer, just reboxed. Even the installation manuals are the same, same pics and all.

Also, if you have a SuperCrew, it looks like the Summitt brand kit for the extended cab is the same one as the P.A. kit for the SuperCrew.

Theres not a thing wrong with a 3" body lift. They work great and look great. And if you decide to go bigger than 35's in the future then slap a suspension lift on with it.

Agreed. Body lifts dont hurt anything. Ive actually found it easier to repair some things with the body lift. Yes there are some downfalls to a body lift, but there are also down falls to a small suspension lift. Many options, all in personal preference.
