I nearly spit sundrop all over my keyboard...

 

So my 2wd with a 3" body will be the same as a stock 4x4

 

yes, but you will still have the factory rake. so you will need some coil spacers to raise the front even with the rear.

 

I was looking at some instuctions and it seems harder to do the body lift because you have to do so much stuff.

 

it only takes a day with 3 people. just read the instructions a couple times before you start and you will be ok.

 

So if it took 1 day with 3 people it will take me 3 days? or is it possible for one person to do it?

 

me and my dad put a 3in PA body lift on my 06 and it took us two days

 

it would be really helpful to have atleast one other person with you.

 

I did one on my rig, alone, in my driveway, with only hand tools, in a weekend. It was easier than the 6" Fabtech install, but took more time. I did the suspension in around 10 hours.

 

It's pretty straight forward, there's a few shortcuts they don't mention in the manual that'll save you some time, like not having to drain/remove the radiator. Also, be careful when lifting the bed up so that you don't nick it on the cab, don't ask me how I know.

 

actually I have a friend with a 3 BL on a 2wd 00' model extcab and he still has stock 2wd wheels and tires, it sits close to what a factory fx4 sits. So yeah your looking to pretty much go up to the stock height of a 4x4 or fx4 model. Id suggest from seeing this, add a leveling kit to the front along with the 3 BL. And be sure to add some bigger tires to aid in helping it sit up taller.

Do the BL yourself, its not that bad.. you just follow directions and have basic hand tools. A suspension lift will be to much for you to do if your questioning doing a BL yourself. Do the BL yourself and add leveling and like some 285 or 295s. Oh yeah!

 

Does anybody know how much somebody would charge to do it?

 

ive heard shops charge from 300-700. depends on where you go.

 

Anywhere from $300-$600, depending on who you know or buds that know what they are doing

 

i am probably gonna get somebody to do it i just dont know where to go to get it done.
