Ok, so I know body lifts aren't the 'coolest' way to go, but I managed to only spend $300 on the kit and $200 on the install...so the way I see it, I'm not doing any crazy jumping or hardcore off-roading, so it pretty much serves the same purpose and I saved a couple grand...so no regrets. I custom cut some diamond plate to fill in the gaps at the back bumper and the rear wheel wells.

So now I have a 3" level kit, 2" add-a-leaf, and now the 3" body kit with 33.5" tires. I'm thinking when I'm ready to upsize the tires I'll take the level kit out and add a 4" suspension lift and slap on some 35s or 37s...but no hurry. I'm happy with it now, and my wife will have my a$$ if I put any more money in this truck!

Here are some pics...I'm open to some feedback.

Why didn't you use the rear bumper relocating brackets? Does look good though.

 

Truck looks good man! But yea you should relocate the rear bumper, my bother in law did it to his truck by himself after him and his friend installed a 3" BL on his truck.

 

Looks nice....looking to possibly do somethign like this when I need new tires.

Deff relocate teh bumper, although I like your Diamond Plating idea!

 

The kit only came with brackets for the front bumper. For the back bumper it said you had to cut it off and re-weld it. Since my bumper has back-up sensors and stuff built into it I thought it best just to leave it alone.

 

Looks really good! It will look great if you raise the rear bumper.

 

It really isn't hard to do. You yake the plastic cover off then the medal piece off the frame. disconnect the sensors cut the welds that connect the two smaller pieces to the main piece flip them and put on the brackets and weld it back up. it can be done in an hour tops

 

Looks good

 

Thanks for the tip Griff, I might give that a shot. Thanks everybody else for the positive feedback...

 

no problem and the truck looks great by the way sorry i didn't add that earlier

 

 

I like it, looks good!

 

truck looks good would look better with that 4inch suspension lift and tires its only money...
