Default Body lifts?

I hear that there are some negitive effects from getting a 3" body lift. Does anyone know what they are, and if so are they anything to be worried about.

puts more stress on the body mounts, installation cost is high due to the little things such as bumper relocation, tranny linkage extension,fan shroud trimming. i did this on my old 90 f250 and it was a pain.

Default my body lift experience

so i wanted a little lift without paying the price...bad idea. i put a 3" body lift on and it looked ok i mean your gonna see the underbody chasis and space threw the bed and i didnt mind this. UNTIL! i took my baby to the beach when i hit bumps and sand i thought my truck was going to fall apart it sounded so bad. and i had it professionaly installed and all. good luck.

body lifts are fine when done right. PA makes a great kit that comes with everything.
