First have alook behind the back seat! Thats where the bolts for your body are, Thats where you have to make a hole to put new longer bolts thru.
Its not a big deal but some people dont like the sound of cutting into there new car.

yeah will do that is a little scary

what tires are you fitting?
not much point doing a body lift if your not fitting bigger tires.
i would do suspension lift first.

Suspension lift is far better than a body lift. Go do it, You'll love it!

I'd say suspension lift as well, they are a different truck afterwards.

Yeah if you can get the suspension done first. I only did my body lift because i spent my money on tyres and couldn't do both.

IMHO, go a 2" suspension lift first, a body lift is only needed to clear bigger tyres and you can cross that hurdle when you need to.

A a=suspension lift will help you much more, now!

Unless you already have a plan (like me) and an order isn't necessary, it's not the process but the finsished product which counts!

thanks heaps guys yeah maybe a suspension lift. Im pretty sure the price that is well over 1000 for a good one but as u guys said it is well worth it. i think a little more research is needed

i was Quoted almost 2 grand on a 2 inch suspension lift! So i went ahead and lifted the body of my truck for under 100 bucks. But the very next thing will be springs and torsions. If i cant think of anything else to spend money on...........
