Body lifts

When doing a body lift does it keep your back bumper at stock height making a gap between the back bumper and the bottom of the tail gate giving it a wierd look?

Depends on who does the work.

The shop that did mine moved it up but the Hitch stays in the same location.

Looks OK to me though!

Thx for the info, I see that body lifts are pretty cheap around 250 online, how much does it cost for the install? Also do you or should you buy new shocks or anything else needed for the lift?

Hey HOFF, is there anything you would do different if you had to start all over? I wouldn't....I love my truck, man! It makes such a difference.

I think its perfect...a couple of inches. It's not too much and the tires aren't hidden within the wheel well, check out pic # 3 in the gallery...you can pretty much make it out
