Adding A Body Lift... Thoughts?

[joeyb_021]

I want to add a 3" body lift to my 07 Silverado. The shop that is going to do the work doesn't recommend body lifts, suggesting that they are not as dependable as suspension lifts. I have a 6" suspension lift, but i am not content with the ride height.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions, recommendations, thought/comments on the idea (good or bad)?

Your truck looks great already but if you want to go higher, more power to you, just don't do the BL. Some will say body lifts are great, personally, I don't like them.

Why don't you like body lifts, Daddy?

 

I've never heard of anybody running into any issues with a properly installed body lift.

I just don't like the thought of them. It just feels fake to me.

 

That's not to be rude to anyone with one, that's just how I feel about them. I would never go with a BL on a truck but that's just my opinion is all.

haha well thanks for the thoughts, but I was looking for more factual information, particularly why I shouldnt get one.

No I'm fine with that, I was just wondering if you had any bad experiences with them. IMO they are a good, inexpensive way to gain a little more height and fit larger tires.

 

To the OP, what size tires would you be running after the BL?

i have a body lift and have had no problems...people just say that especially shops becuase they are a pain in the ass to put on....but they cannot charge lots for labor...

Because, like the suspension lift, it won't make your penis any bigger either.

There really isn't any negatives as long as you take the proper steps to make the BL less noticeable. Things like gap guards and relocating the rear bumper as well as the exhaust.

Dont get a body lift.

 

My truck looks like everyone elses, and I prefer it that way.. so should you.

 

I understand your pain, but not the response I was looking for.

Well, I could always swap my chrome bugshield for a black one, then it would look like you.
