I was just wondering if anyone had pics of their truck with just a 3 inch body lift. If so, please post them. And if anyone has thoughts on this... I have 31's on and just want some more clearance. Would the body lift look alright and what mods would have to be made to accomodate it?
Thanks for the help.

4x4 or two-wheel drive?

Spindles : The black long arms from the top of the wheel to the bottom.. Stock ones are 3" shorter.




Here the spindle is taken out :

31" tires look just a LITTLE on the small side with a 3" body lift. 32"s look ok but 33" is the perfect size in my opinion.

I have 31.6" tires with no lift, I would definitely go up to 33" on a lift.

Nope, you're wrong. He didn't specify if it was an EDGE, 4x4, or regular 2-wheel drive. A bodylift looks different on different trucks.

See, look at my ugly bodylift :roll:
