Leveling Kit plus Body Lift

I got a leveling kit, AAL, and 35's, I want a lil more height without dropping a few grand, body lift? Is that safe with what I got and how will look, anybody got any pictures of the 04's and up?

After install the body lift is going to cost as much as the suspension lift.

Even then, it's still not going to cost as much as a suspension lift.

A body lift + install is around $800. I've seen where guys here have been paid $2,000-3,000 plus for a suspension lift + install.

If you install it yourself, you get 3" of lift for very cheap. They're not hard to install, just time consuming. If you get gap guards and raise you bumpers, they look great!

Yep, a body lift is also a great value, if you can install it yourself.

Thanks for the compliment, I loved the way the truck turned out. I was on a budget and got the look I was going for. Plus to the untrained eye its hard to tell these trucks have a body lift when done right with the step bars and gap guards.
