Problems:
Filler neck to gas tank had to be extended it leaked
They broke all my reverse sensors
Put rear bumper on wrong
Left my cai unhooked cause they couldn't get it to fit
Didn't align my gear shifter right
And put the gap guards on wrong

700 dollars in repairs but once my normal shop did the repairs I love it on my truck
How big is your lift??

Do it man. dont listen to the bull**** people sell you about body lifts looking like **** because you can see the frame and blah blah blah. i have a 3" performance accessories body lift on my truck and have had it for about 2 years. i get people asking me about ti all the time and saying how good it looks, some people dont even know its a body lift until i tell them. i dont hav gap gaurds either however it does look a ton better with gap gaurds.

the positives of a body lift, its cheaper than a suspension. sometimes less than half the price. it wont throw off angles of the front end or put extra wear on it either and you get more working space in the engine bay, especially for spark plug jobs or anything doing with the top of the engine.

i say do it man. the only thing that sucks is the install. i would recommend installing it yourself though. im sure it will cost more than the lift itself to have it installed.

Go for it! 07 screw 3" BL 305/70/18's. Mine rides great. Only thing I don't really like about mine is I don't have the gap guards.
