Even after the bumpers are raised still looks bad cause now the frame is below the bumpers, then there's the gap you see under rockers and wheel wells between body and frame that crap off your tires gets into where it normally would not, I know just make something to hide the gap, by the time you waste time and money unbolting the body, adjusting linkages, bumpers, wiring then hiding the gaps you could have bought springs and been done

Springs give you flex and suspension travel things you need offroad, body lift gives you bigger tires whopteedo

D1 is so cheap and easy to suspension lift there's no reason not to just my .02

 

I've done the 2" terrafirma lift. Love it. Used the HD springs. I am wanting to fit 33" without tire rub. Should I do a body lift.

 

One advantage of a 2+2 suspension/body lift is your center of gravity is lower than with a 4" suspension lift.
It can also give you more space for things like air tanks that don't hang below the chassis and a PTO hydraulic pump.
It all depends on what your goals are.

 

Probably yes; depends on the width of the tires.

 

This...

I used to hate body lifts and thought they were stupid. But now that my trail truck is at 5.5" spring lift it's down right scary on side hills. It was not too bad at 3" +1" pucks.

My new to me truck has a 2" body lift and originally I planned to remove it. But now I'm planning to keep it. Partially because I'm too lazy to remove it but also because I like the extra clearance I have between the frame and body. It makes it easier to weld on the frame as well as run new lines etc.

 

Guys,
I do not like so much the BL so have to ask you about this situation.
If I plan to fit tires like 315/75R16 (theoretically 35"), and I have a 2" suspension lift, then I am addicted to cut the arch. Do I still need the Body Lift?

 

I can't decide if I should install a 2" or 4" suspension lift, full kit including all what's needed to have it done properly, but after reading this thread, I'm kind of leaning towards a 2" long travel dislocation kit, and if needed later for 33/9.5x16 or 255/85x16 tires, I add a 1" or 2" body lift and trim arches (I currently have 235/85x16 with 30mm spring spacers). What do you guys think? I was hoping to decide and install it next week
