I know this has been discussed before, but if someone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it. I want to go higher, but don't want to spend the 3K on a suspension lift. Here is my question. After the Daystar leveling kit, what can i use to go higher?
I've heard on older trucks, people would just add another block (same that's already on the 4X4). Does this constitute a "body lift"? Has anyone done this? Do the blocks go on the front and rear? , or just the rear? If it isn't a body lift, can some please explain the details of a "body lift" versus just adding another block.
Will you need new shocks if you add either one?
Thanks

 

A body lift is simple a set of spacers that are added between the body and frame at each mounting bolt therefore lifting the body off of the frame.
I am sure body lifts are available for these trucks.
The blocks are only on the rear axle.
A body lift would most likely give you what you are looking for but keep in mind that the body lift will not move the bumpers. without modification to them you will end up with gaps between the bumpers and body.
All of this can easily be resolved by a competant 4x4 shop if you don't want to do it yourself!
hope this helps!

 

There is a body lift avaiable for the 04 SCREW. It is made by performance accessories. The kit does come with brackets to relocate the bumbers thus there is no gap. It is not as simple as just putting spacers where the body bolts are. Lots of other things have to be done such as ground wire extensions, etc... Personally I did a six inch suspension lift because with all the body lifts I have seen there are always things that dont lign up properly, not to mention the relocation brackets that come with the kit are for improving the cosmetic aspect only.. They can not support any substantial weight or be used for towing anything. athough cost effective in my opinion not worth it in the end

O4 is correct in that it is not simple. Sorry if I misled anyone. There is alot crap to installing a body lift. And yes I too think a suspension lift would be easier. Plus it looks better.
