3inch body lift questions.....

I am wanting to fit 35's. I know i can go 3inch body or 4inch suspension. I want suspension, but its too expensive. I cant do the work for the body lift, but how hard are they to put on? Will my bumpers be lower than the rest of the body with a PA 3inch body lift? Will i need to trim?

usually the suspension lift is easier than a body (larger parts etc)

your bumpers (if done correctly) will be raised along with your truck, but you won't be able to use them to tow. get you a receiver hitch. as far as the instructions, check out

ANYTHING else you want to know about a body lift, let me know. they usually run around $175 delivered

do u have a 4x4 or 4x2?if its a 4x4,then the 35's will fit,if not then they wont.and yes without the bumper kit the back bumper will be 3 inches lower and you will be able to see the blocks for the lift,thats why i got the kit and the gap guards so u cant see anything.and if its a 4x4 then u might have to trim the front valance,i did anyways but u cant tell.

The kits are not that hard to install. It's just time consuming, tedious work, which is why shops charge so much to install them. If you have a 4x4, you can fit 35x12.50's on a 10 inch wide wheel by trimming the front bumper's lower valance.
