Anyone have any trucks with Body lifts?
Now I know, body lifts are not praised on this site, but I am still looking into one, because I don't wanna spend a few grand on a suspension lift nor do I wanna go 6". I am looking into maybe a 3" body lift. I don't want negative feedback about how they are not liked and save up your money for a suspension lift, because I will not do it. So with that said, can anyone post pictures of their truck with a body lift or give advice on the best brand/place to purchase one? Thank You

is 3" more lift all u want for your truck bud, i would think u could do that without a body lift?? maybe AAL and better control arms up front, i dont know tho just some thoughts, not all body lifts are bad they just have to be done right on the truck its on

i know a couple of guys on here have them. the biggest problem i would think it would have is that it would show too much frame but i have yet to see good pics of one installed.

it def shows the frame on a 04 ranger i have yet to it on a 150. im looking in to it as well also it will look really awkward if u have a tow hitch. but u can get creative and not install the bumper brackets and fill the gaps between the body and bumpers. good luck let me know how it turns out

i had a 3 inch bl on my 2005 ranger and it wasnt that bad. to cover the frame you just have to buy a gap guard kit. the only issue i have with bl is the bumper brackets make the bumper attacmnets weak and the steering shaft will tend to bind. o and i looked them up for f150 and they are very expensive. i dont really know why. i paid 150 for my ranger's and i would asume they shouldnt be that much more but are???

well its probably because the one for the f-150 has more pucks and is stonger because of the weight of a 150 compared to the ranger.
