A BDS or fabtech is a little over $2k plus install if you don't do it yourself. 35's are around $350 each if you go with a mud or trail. Price differs with rim size. Rims depend on what you buy. Mine were $180 each. 18's seemed to be the cheapest combo for my rims and tires.

He got the suspension info covered, if u do suspension your looking at big $$$$. If you regear don't forget you have to do the front also. 3"inch body lift is like 250$, it'll come with accessories to move bumpers up with it, tires depends on rim and of course style, gap guards like 100$ for all four, and id say muffler shop wouldn't charge maybe like 100 where I'm from to lift your tips up, but you could always cut them off cheaper and leave it open muffler and have a deeper sound ?

so either way ill have to regear and buy the 35's so it's gunna cost maybe a 500 dollar difference, and i do my own work so lift and gears wouldn't cost me as much as having them installed. what's the benefits of the suspension over body other than suspension travel, and what kind problems should i expect from the body lift as far as the steering and linkages and such, thanks in advanced
