body lifts where they cheap?

haha, i tricked you all into giving me free self esteem so that i COULD do it myself! moo ha ha!!!!! i will do it myself, i just needed to hear that i could. will my header install be any easier after i am lifted?

No. The motor will sit lower in the bay and will be harder to get to.

Actually it helps because it increases the fender gap above the frame, more room to get to the studs that way

Nope, cause the body gap is wider after a body lift and makes the engine and manifolds easier to get to from the sides. From the top, yes, it's more of a PITA.

I think the thing that could cause the biggest headache for either job would be broken bolts. Only heard one story of a Body bolt breaking on a lift, but it was the rear most mount and the guy had a hell of a time getting it fixed.

That would be me, for one. It was a PITA, but in most cases with a rust-free truck and a pre-lube with PB- Blaster/penetrating oil, it should be pretty straight forward and no biggie. I did the whole job, beginning to end (almost), alone with inferior tools outside in February in a townhouse parking lot. Maybe I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. On a clean truck with a manual, good tools, and an extra set of hands, I can see it being done in a half day's work. I spent that much on the actual lift no prob, its just the special problems I ran into that had me benched. But still, other than turning that F'd up rear mount over to a body man, and handling the bumper proped against my stomach and my knee while bolting it up, I still take pride in doing the entire job with my own 2 hands and no help. So any haters or whiners can kiss my a$$.

question...I have the 3 inch body lift kit from ac..but i have 31's and a 3 inch suspension already installed, should i wait on installing BL since i wont be getting bigger tires for a while...it will not look right huh?

[Earth1]

32s would definately look better. If you have the lift kit already do it anyway, you'll be glad you did. Your truck will sit higher and look a lot more agressive, plus more room for flex.

[GrimGreg]

With the stock wheel openings the 31s will still look OK with both lifts.

[88pathoffroad]

Yep, it still looks fine with 31's. Just do it!
