(not trying to rain on anyones parade but body lifts suck and look stupid as s#%t) You will love the truck just as much if not more with a proper 4-6" lift

It's not raining on a parade if it's the truth.

Eh I dont think a subtle body lift looks bad. But after looking through some of those pictures of failing body lifts, I change my mind about getting one (was only gonna do a 1" but not worth what I saw in some of those pictures)

My 1" BL bent all of my body mounts and frame in a 30 mph rear end.

My buddy still has a 3" BL on his jeep and I can't get him to take it off. He saw my jeep and all the pictures and threads dedicated on jeepforum.com stating how bad they are. Even then he wont. Makes me want to slap him until he figures it out.

Berty isn't the OP if that's who you are referring to.

haha I'm the guy who came into the thread and was taught good.

I always had my reservations, but so many people swear that they cant cause damage. Only negative things I could find before were the ugliness or cheapness. The pictures are what really convinced me they are a bad idea, they just solidify what I had originally thought (I mean thousands of pounds of cab/bed/cargo basically sitting on these stilts made no sense at all).

So yeah, I'm not OP but thanks ;D
