RE: lift

not sure about brand names cause im more of a down to earth guy

, but id definatly go with a suspension lift. everyone i know that has had a body lift had nothing but problems. plus they look like crap in my opinion, cause the frame will hang way down.

High center of gravity, increase the already high rollover risk,lower fuel mileage.

Thanks for the answers. Just wondering if a body lift put a lot of stress on any other compontents such as steering componets, the frame, ect?

RE: lift

Could experience a stiffer ride depending what puck is placed under the body. You can get some larger meats in there though.

Meat. It's what's for dinner.

Are you planning on using the factory wheels? That would look cool. Esp with your 32's idea.

RE: lift

32" will require fender trimming and might rub the frame at full lock.

trailmaster and Superlift make suspension lifts for the NBS S10-Blazers.
