I was thinking of getting a 3 inch body lift to give my new 33's some more breathing room but what are the pro vs con.

One problem is my brush guard that is bolted to the frame I wonder if its moveable?

What do I need to know?

 

The pros are body lifts are inexpensive, don't affect your ride quality or warranty. The con is you are limited to 3 inches of lift. As for your brushguard, you can fabricate some mounts to raise it 3 inches. Some brushguard mounts can be flipped upside down to raise them. Check out my gallary for some close up pics of my Screw's body lift. Just search the gallaries for "Wandell's Screw and Expy".

 

Ok so who makes the best kit, how much? any extra parts like gap guards etc? Ill probably have it installed professionally but want to be armed with the right info so I dont get taken. Whats my A to Z list?

 

Get the Performance Accessories kit. You are right about needing to add a set of Gap Guards. The body lift should be somewhere around $150.

 

Ok new problem, where can I get gap guards for a flare side truck? How much labor will this cost me to install?

 

My son made his own "gap guards" on his last truck with a body lift. He used rubber roofing material. He used the original front flaps as a pattern and made the new ones 3" longer. For the rear he measured the distance around the wheel well and the height and cut straight pieces. All of the pieces were held in place with plastic door panel fastners (available at any parts store). Using scrap roofing material he only had a few bucks in the total project and it looked and worked great.
