Get a leveling kit and a 3" body lift, it'll be a lot bigger.

Did you install your body lift yourself? How hard was it?

Im thinking about doing a 3" body lift on top of my lift, getting a shop to make some brackets to move my bull bar up, and getting some chrome nerf bars to cover up the frame a little bit.

Yeah, I installed my own. It wasn't that hard, it is just a lot of small steps and it takes a long time. That's why shops charge so much to install one. However, I here the 04-06's are much harder to install body lifts on.

Do you know exactly why they are harder to install a body lift?

Im thinking I could do the whole install in a GOOD weekend. . .
