You will need a 3 inch body lift, Really that what you need. Any good name brand setup will come with the whole set up. All a body lift is are new spacers that replace the old body mounts lifting the body in this case 3 inches above the frame. Some people don;t run them for safety concerns.

What size tire are going to run? As there are better methods.

3" body lift is the cheapest way to get 3" out of a truck. Simple. Not an attractive way since the OBS truck already show a ton of frame but it can be put on in one day. Cost is $100-$200 I think.

i got mine for 171$ after shipping from summit. i can give u the link when i get home. i did the install in my drive way too so it was the cheapest way for me to get a 3" lift at 16 and im happy with it after painting frame black and all other chassis stuff. but im looking for a nice set of nerf bars or something in the future to hide frame better

So did you paint that stuff already? Like it? Looks a lot better. It only took me like 8 years to do mine. I was so pleased. I throw a fresh coat on every spring after the harsh salty winters up here. My truck is cleaner than many NBS trucks underneath.

body mounts

how is the job accomplished. i have seen the kits, i just want to replace the old ones with new stock height, maybe those energy suspension black graphite impregnated. but i don't know how the job is done. can you give me an idea how you did yours?

Just do yourself the favor and get a real lift. Not to knock anyone that does the bodylift thing but thats borderline gay if you ask me. Get a 6 inch lift from procomp. you can thank me later

what's wrong with a body lift? It maintains factory ride and allows more suspension flex (if I can call IFS that) and allows bigger tires. All for like $200. It's hard to argue with that. My suspension parts alone where MUCH more than that, hell my shocks alone almost triple that.

Do you have dual shocks up front bowtie? That's what it looks like in your sig picture, but what kit utilizes dual shocks?

I'd eventually like to swap out what I assume are the original superlift shocks on mine included in the 6" lift kit, but not sure what to go with or whats compatible.

The guy before me put on chrome nerf bars and Im deffinitely glad that I have them now that my hoe is lifted. They look great with the lift
