the only thing i can say about 3 inch body lift is that i have heard the are extra unsafe. if you got into an accident your body will just plain fall off. i think im going to go with a 2 inch just to be safe. and if your talking about a 1 ton truck it rides like a tractor any way. unless you do a shackle reversal you wont ever get a nice ride weather or not you do an add a leaf or leave it stock.

yes, using a hockey puck with a hole drilled in it will give you a cheap one inch body lift.

Is a steering shaft extension needed for a 3 inch body lift?
