Question for those with body lifts.......

was it hard to break all the original frame/body bolts when you did the installation? Just need to make sure before I break my wrist trying. Thanks.

I get just a tad less than stock. Usually around 12-14 mpg depending on what I am doing with my truck.

Hi Steven
I have a trailmaster lift. The only reason i can get 35's on it is cause the torsion bars are cranked up so i am gonna get a body lift on top of the 4" suspesion lift. Do you think that the 3" body lift will be too high and make the 35's look small?
