Body lift on 3rd generations

Thinking about adding a 3inch Performance Assessories BL on my Mega Cab.

Does anyone have this kit? Especially on a newer Dodge Cummins diesel. Mega Cabs a plus...

I am curious to see how much more the frame shows with a BL on these rigs. I have one on my 4runner and it doesnt look bad at all.

Thanks in advance! Post pics too if ya got them...

you might have to move your intercooler and some wireing. You might want to look into a leveling kit instead.

I put one on my '03 I had. The kit wasn't bad to put on, but the intercooler was tricky to do by myself.

Also, on the front you couldn't really even tell there was a body lift on it, but the rear you can definately tell. Get the gap guards to cover the gap between the bed and frame. I had to modify mine to fit the dually bed.

My wheel well liners on my 01 covered the gap wonderfully.

its cheaper and easier to install a suspension lift on a straight axle truck thats why ppl bash them. body lifts ride poorly also. buy a 3" leveling kit and put a 1" block in the rear. theres your 3" for less than 300. I have had 2 trucks with leveling kits and havent had issues from them running stock shocks.
