Default 3 inch body lift questions...

I'm thinking about buying the PA 3" body lift for my truck. I'm curious to know if theres anything I'm going to need besides what comes in the kit for the install.. Is the install harder than doing a suspension lift? Also how long does an average install take? Any input is appreciated thanks guys.

Oh yeah, I was either going to buy them right from PA or make my own because I saw that some guys were doing that.

Do a 2.5" level with blocks in the rear.
It's much easier and cheaper once you figure in your labor cost

I would strongly recommend a front and rear leveling kit instead bro. Rough country has them for around $350. You will not like the looks from the body lift gap or bumper new brackets will not hold the towing load from factory. Not to mention they truck might start to over heat from the relocation of the radiator.

I just went 2.5" level up front, added some 305/70/17 Terra's, and I def can't just slide in the seat anymore.

I would do a 3" not bad, esp if you use gap guards. Just don't have the extra money right now.
