Unno if that is the prop are word "spring" but which is a better lift? In your opinion.

 

It depends. Body lifts are inexpensive but you are limited to 3 inches of lift. Suspension lifts are more expensive but you can go much taller. Nothing wrong with either.

 

If you just wanna stick 35s under it, definitely a body lift. If you want bigger than 3 than suspension. Both are good kits. If you want a body lift, performance accesories is the best. If you want a suspension the best kits are rize, rcd, rancho, or fabtech, depending on what truck you have.

 

there is nothing wrong with the pro-comp lifts. Take it from someone that owns one, and not someone that hasnt.

 

See i have this thing were im scared im going to get stuck b.c of the housing (where you gears are located) is to low. With a body lift you cant get the housing up higher correct?

 

I didnt say those were the only good ones. I said they were the best. Your right nothing is wrong with pro comp, it just isnt as good as a rcd or a fabtech.

 

Brah! bodylifts cheaper and you'll fine some leaning also when hittin' the curves. So Brah, try suspension lifts.

 

There is nothing at all wrong with body lifts brah.

 

Hutch,

(and others, correct me if i'm wrong) The casing housing the gears will be the same height regardless of whether you go with a suspension lift or a body lift. The only way you'll raise that is with bigger tires.

As for suspension vs. body, from what i've read, it seems that if you do a good bit of off-roading, the suspension is the way to go. They are definately more expensive, but if you have the means, go for it!

I was tight on $$ and don't do much off-roading, so i went the body lift route. After it's all said and done, I am glad i didn't spend the extra $$ for a suspension, the body lift looks fine (IMO). By going that route, I was able to get a few other things (tires/wheels/bull bar/tuner). Just depends on your $$ and if you want to do it all at once or piece by piece.

Depending on what year your truck is, if you go the body lift route, I would suggest an Autospring Leveling Kit to bring the front end up (for 2004+ model). All said and done, this will lift your truck roughly the same as a 6" suspension lift would. If you have a pre-2004 model, I think you can crank the torsion bars to produce the same effect as the leveling kit.

 

Body lifts just raise the body and its contents, a suspension lifts raises the frame and power train as well, so by all rights the body lift truck should handle better. Not that I go out of my way to set speed records but I haven't noticed much of a difference on my Ranger from stock.

 

Yeah thats what i kinda figured on the housing part. Right now im just thinking about a leveling kit and some tires , i just wanted to get some opinions , im no expert on this truck thing.
