1.Are you prepared for a PIA job(the body lift)I have installed a couple of them and there a pain.
2.If your doing it yourself,are you prepared to pay a nice sum to have it done for you?Places charge more for body lifts than suspention lifts.
If you answered yes to question 2.You might as well save up for a suspention lift cause in the end after everything is said and done,it will be cheaper.
But if you are instant on doing the 3'' lift.Shop around on line for the kit as you can find it cheaper(300-350)and can find a leveling kit for under a hundred bucks.So in the end save yourself some money($100.00 or more)www.hellbentsteel.com has a 2and half inch leveling kit(and were talking qaulity)for $69.00 shipped.

If your going to run a lift,make sure you get some wheel spacers if your going to keep running stock tires.Also the biggest if you can find a place to mount and balanced(most places wont do it cause there machines cant handle it,or its against there insurance regs,trust me i know) are 35's are biggest you can go on stock rims.If you tried 37's,your tires will be squished you would ruin the tires in no time and i can almost certainly tell you(have seen it before)you go off road,you will break that bead,you hit a deep put hole while driving,you will break the bead.So please don't go 37's.
