3"spacer vs 3" body lift
right now im running on 3" spacer, just wondering whats the difference from that and a 3" bodylift and whats the pro's and con's about that becuase my neighbor told me if i do a 3" bodylift the middle of my truck will sink in eventually? something like that

Sink in? Maybe if you had a chevy! lol. The new PA Body Lift will prevent that from ever happening on their kit. To install, you remove the entire seat assemblies since your new bolts run through the cab, through the spacer, into the frame. THIS is why I didnt do the install myself and paid someone. I have had my kit on for 2+ months now, on top of the 3" Susp lift, and there has been no added body roll. I still hit freeway interchange ramps at 45+. When I have a load in the bed, the truck holds true like it should, still stable in turns. When I am towing a trailer (so far its just been a 16' with furniture, tomorrow I tow 2- Chevy C10's, seperately of course, and will update that then), the truck again acts as if nothing has been lifted off the frame, still feel solid. JMO on things as a user and abuser, but so far its been tried and true.

do you know if there is a video or anything anywhere that shows how it is installed? because my dad has a shop and if it easy enough i can do it myself? but how much did you pay to get it done?

I bought off of eBay. I can give you the guys name. Ran me just over 400 w/ shipping. I am not sure of an install video anywhere, but the instructions were very detailed. Just too overwhelming for me as I didnt have a shop and a lift would have came in real handy. I paid 700 cash for the install, from a local 4x4 shop that does their custom lifts. 4wheelparts store right down the street from them wants 825.
