Personally I would and have gone with a lift kit, the problem is they are expensive with the independent front suspension. I have heard the same about the cooling system with the body lift. also the air intake sits on the fender, so unless you are going after market you will have to modify that as well

its pretty much all about cost. you can spend 1000 bucks on a 4" IFS lift kit or 100 bucks on a body lift. im not a body lift fan i do everything suspension but i have a hard time justifying the money on ifs lifts
