Body lift, no problem. T body GM vehicles don't take to kindly to messing with chassis ride height, (torsion bar crank). If chassis ride height is not within factory specs, you will experience premature failure of all 4 ball joints, all 4 CV joints, both outer tie rod ends, and both front shocks. Not to mention tires and torsion bars. If money isn't a problem, make sure you have the time, tools and knowledge to replace that stuff.... often.... and on a regular basis
