Hey I just put a 3in body lift on my truck 2 mos ago and I wouldn't wish it apon my worst enemy just make sure you have plenty of help and air tools and it will be allright.

Tip 1- Make sure you take the bed loose and move it back about 3in or so before you jack the cab up otherwise you will ger a nasty chip behind the cab.

Tip 2- Be prepared to take all of you interior out seats carpet not necessary but much eaiser to get at the body mount bolts.

Tip 3- Don't force it! Things will break!

Tip 4- Good luck with the shifter linkage.
Here are some pics of what to expect.
