Question Body Lift

Where is the cheapest place to get a 3 or 4" body lift for my 06 Screw? I've seen some forums where people were getting them for $250. The cheapest I could find one for is $399. Also, is their anyone with just a leveling kit and a body lift installed? Pics would be great!

they don't make a 4in. body lift. Performance Accesories makes one of the best kits and comes with everything you need.

I have the 3" Performance accessories body lift and a 2.5 leveling kit in the front. Running 325/50r22 trail grapplers (approx. 34.5" tire) and just had to cut the front lower valance corners alittle bit. I'll be adding a 6" lift and 37's (and gears) soon but this was a great stepping stone and it gets alot of compliments. I Think I paid around $300 for the kit with gap guards. Then I paid with blood sweat and tears putting it on

i got mine for $350 from a local shop, its a 3" BDS body lift. However BDS no longer makes body lifts for our trucks, so Performance Acc. is the way to go. dont forget the gap guards.

Heres my 2.5" Lvl kit + 3" Body lift and 35's







I hid the frame horns with a 2wd valence

are you talking about the black bar on the license plate ?

if you are its an E-Z- Pass, for tolls and bridges.

Although a camera would be nice for parking lol.

Well since we are on the topic.....

I've been looking into a body lift but I have a manual transfer case, will I just need an extension?
