anybody have any pics of the gaps left by (BODY LIFTS) some people say they leave bad gaps around the truck. Im really looking into getting a body lift not really gonna do any offroading so not getting a suspension lift thanks

if your not goin off road then the main problem of the gaps in the engine compartment aren't a problem and usually the kits come with brackets to relocate the bumpers

just the 3" comes with bumper relocation brackets. other sizes you gotta fab it up yourself. hold on ill get pics

really wow thats screwed up

Old_Skl_Raptr

yea but its not hard. just a 1/8 inch steel plate with holes drilled then matching holes drilled 1 or 2 inches higher depending on the bl size you got

ya its not hard to make the brackets u would just think they would sell them with the kit

Old_Skl_Raptr

the only thing is the stock mounting holes are 3 inches apart. so moving it up 3" is no problem cuz the bottom bolt just moves to the top hole. but on a 1 or 2 inch you have to drill new holes in your frame. so i guess they let you do it how you want

Go with a leveling kit instead. I got new torsion keys, and 2" blocks for the rear. The truck comes up 3" in the front, no more work, and no ugly gaps. Stock shocks, and 33" tires.

well they only make a 3in. kit for the op's truck so its not really a problem. he just has to make sure to get the right kit. the bumper brackets are different between 04-05 and 06-08
