Body lifts are fine it all depends on what you do with the truck. When i installed mine it me 5 hours and the worst part was the mounts by the core support.

The most I would never consider is a 1" but why not do it the the good way and stay with suspension lifts

ive been reading on these instructions http://www.performanceaccessories.co...ctions/823.pdf

does not seem to hard. i want to do a body lift because all my mounts are bad,
i noticed my bed leans to one side and my 2 front ones are completely wasted.

i was wondering about the steering extension, do i really need it.
i dont find a kit that brings one.

it all depends on how much rust you have, with all the right tools and no rust, it can be done in 4 hours. with rust and hand tools, it can take a full weekend or more.

i got power tools so im good on the tools.

i found on bronco graveyard the kit with steering extender.http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-...f250-f350.html

this seems good right ?
might just order this one when i got the cash.

but other wise overall, no other problem should pop up as i do this ?
was planning on doing this at shop in school but might just do it at home since its easier to leave the truck on the ground
