Leveling Kit or Body Lift?

[Flexx]

I have zero experience with body lifts, never liked that you can see the frame. But I noticed on the Z that the running boards hide them and I have an 03 Z71.

I do have a dumb question. Do you have to do anything special to the bumpers or do they just rise with the body? If you do have to remount them I'm assuming those parts come with the lift.

Yes, they come with bumper relocation kits. Only the hitch stays where it is. And yes, I generally don't like body lifts, but our z71 running boards and cladding completely hide it.

Have my eyes on the zone kit.

Yes the zone 3" body lift come with front and rear bumper relocators, im sure the other ones do too but ive never messed with one other than zone (they have everything you need for them) but im like you i have never liked bodylift because they expose your frame so much like my pewter hoe, but the frame was hid on it atleast until i totaled it out....

Here you go bro, this is what i was talking about on th trim (mudflap)

Just trim it on the inside cut it straight down and then to the metal bracket holding it on and it will clear without and issues then the outside apperance wont change and most people wont even notice it was cut

Good luck and keep me updated!!

Gotcha. Thanks man. I tried to run 325/60/20 and they literally just barely kissed the plastic right there. At the time I didn't feel like messing with it so just got different tires.

I did the PA body lift on my 06 Denali and it looks good with the 33's. no rubbing. Now i want to lift it higher for 37's or bigger.

I was gonna go 38s or 40s, but then i found out im going to have a new edition to our family and it would be hard to put a carseat in and out of a hoe on 40s so i decided against it (for now)

How much of the frame shows with a 3'' body lift, does anyone have pics of the frame? I'm also undecided wether to do a leveling kit or body lift... I installed my 33'' tires today after cranking the tortion bars and they rubbed bad

What tires and rims you running? Shouldn't rub. And if you're a z71 the frame is hidden. Our running boardsand cladding are mounted to the body.

Not a z71...275/18'' XD Series wheels with Mickey Thompson mtz's

edit: I plan on installing a Go Rhino push bar at some point, will it look silly if I get a 3'' body lift or is there some way to raise it with the body? sorry for all the newb questions
