What kind of lift?
I just got a 87 GMC 3/4 ton. I would like to add a lift, but am unsure if i should get a body lift or suspension lift. The body is much cheaper, what are the advantages of the suspension lift? Any other info would be great!
thanks josh |

id go with a suspensien lift, body lifts basicly just raise the body higher for clearance, which leaves a big gap from the frame to body,,,,, which can look ugly....... also with a body lift you have to extend LOTS of things..... fuel lines steering shaft etc etc
check out www.offroaddesign.com ------------------ My Truck pictures www.xframeimpala.com 68 4x4 short fleetside 327 CH465 edelbrock intake and carb MSD distributor its the "SHAGROLET" 56 big window short stepside 235 dual 1 brls 64ImpalaSS 327 70 C10 LWB fleetside custom/10 350/TH350 IM me on aol SN= SHAGROLET

forgot to mention the raised center of gravity with a body lift depending on the lift you might need to enlarge the hole for the t-case shifter my coisin had to do this with his 3" bodylift on his 73 3/4t and I agree with Imp the gap just ruins the whole look go with suspension lift the 12" kit is only $1200 heheheheheh
I also read somewhere that in some states body lifts are illegal anybody else heard of this? ------------------ 71 Custom/10 lb fleet .040 over 350/th350 good ol 1 wheel peel 3.73 12 bolt 275/60/15 front 31x10.50 rear on GMC Safari wheels #3 Dale Earnhardt will live forever in our hearts and memories "THE WORLD'S GREATEST RACE CAR DRIVER EVER"
