if you already have a 3 inch body lift, start putting it on. Find issues when you get to them, fabricate to fix, and carry on. You can do anything that you put your mind to.

I have not had a problem with body roll. And i can cruise 70 all day long, around corners and over bumps without feeling unsafe. I even have a 2500 with stiff springs and she goes around corners great.
