i wouldnt run a body lift on anything all there good for is breaking the body mounts and just look like crap imo bet others will agree just put a bigger suspension lift on you would be much happier

With the fabricating involved (shift linkage, cooling system, brake lines, cab to chassis grounds, fuel filler neck, bumper relocation, etc), a suspension lift may be the better way to go.

X2 There is a lot of little things that have to be adjusted. It is quite a pain! I like the idea of a bigger suspension lift

Plus putting a body lift on it will raise the trucks center of gravity as you are lifting the body off the frame which makes it more top heavy.

How big of tire are you thinking of running?
This kit claims to fit a 37" tire.
KORE Recon Front Diesel

As for the rear, they have kits for that too. Air bags work well too.

Kore makes GREAT lift kits... The only problem is they are quite pricey
