Yeah, I have noticed that everyone on here has a body lift. Personally I don't have an interest in a body lift. I am lifting my truck to improve it's off road abilities. The only way a body lift helps that is clearing larger tires. I would rather trim fenders. Cheaper, and IMO looks better. =)

Nah, I made some for my brother's 88 Dodge Ram once. Easy as pie.

If you bought them, share the love! (and by love i mean link)
