Question Body Lift?

I am calling out to all of you guys who have installed a body lift. Right now i have a 4" Rancho lift, but am thinking about adding a 3" body lift and 35's to get a little taller. First, is it possible? and second, how much of a pain are they to install and what problems or dislikes has anyone had with them? I am somewhat on the fence whether or not i like them or not.
thanks

People add body lifts to suspension lifts all the time. I do not have any experience on installing a body lift on a 04+, but I have heard it is a PITA. I am running a body lift on my 03, as are a bunch of people here, and I havent had or heard of any problems. They are extremely reliable.

Everything Ive read is that they are a pain to install on the new body style. There are quite a few members on the site with 6 inch susp lifts with the 3inch body lift installed. I think ive seen some with the rancho 4 and the body lift but I cant remember who.

if you run 37's you will have to regear. and 35's will look small w/ 7" of lift. i think my 35's look small w/ 6" of lift. you could just put a 2" spacer on front, 2" AAL on back. and run 35's as another option

yes i know i would have to regear. i dont like spacers though, i had one for only a few months and it ruined a ball joint that fast. My ride right now is almost just like stock and i want to keep ride quality like it is. I still dont know if it will go through with the body lift though. It seems like one thing leads to another all the time and has a snowball effect which really drains my wallet.
