3" body lift

I am thinking about getting a 3" body lift for my 04 FX4. I was going to get the 3" suspension lift until I heard many bad things about it on here. I already am running a 2" leveling kit with 35"s but just want a little more clearance, and a little more height. Does anybody on here have the 3" body lift, if so could you please post some pics thanks.

if you got the extra cash just take off your spacer and throw the rancho 4" or superlift 4.5" suspension lift on there. ride quality will be much better. body lifts are expensive to install and personally i dont think they look that great, even with gap guards.

Im interested in this too. I want a 3" body on top of my 6" suspension though. For you I would recommend doing a suspension lift it costs a little more than a body lift but it would be better. What bad things have you heard about 3" suspension lifts?

the skyjacker 3" suspension just adds bigger coilovers and aals, members have complained of terrible ride quality. a spacer is a better option. its cheaper and only give you .5" less of lift. ride quality will be better.

kickassfx4, your truck looks so good. a lot of members with the 6" fabtech tend to have a sag where the rear sits about an inch lower then the front. your truck looks perfectly level, did you add anything to your rear suspension??
