Body Lift?
How hard is it to install a 3" body lift on my 97 f150 supercab. Is it easier than installing a suspension lift?

It's not hard. Just time consuming and tedious do to all of the small steps involved.

Nah you just put spacers underneath the body, dont have to take the body off. But yeah for the 97 f150s suspension lifts would be harder than a body lift.
