5" lift + cutouts = 41"?
5" lift + cutouts = 41"?
I want to go 40's cause everyone else in town allready has a 5" and 37s. I was thinking adding a body lift with it but pack lots of weight and I doubt my box will handle it with there being less cross members supporting the weight.

A bodylift has the same crossmember support just 3 inches taller. I have one on mine along with the 6in superlift and my next tires are going to be 40's
I don't really see the cutouts as working out. I know you want to be able to de-mod your truck to sell before too long and it would cost some parts changing. My buddy put Ford Bushwacker cutouts on his second gen, but it was some work, and obviously he would need another set of fenders to go stock as he cut the stockers up. Those flares aren't cheap either. I would consider it, but not on a truck you plan to return to stock before too long. If anything I would try the glass fenders, then you can leave your stocks intact for later at least.

On the body lift, doesn't it just lift up right where the bed is bolted to the frame? That would leave a 3" space where the other braces sit on the frame that aren't bolted on, wouldn't it? Was the body lift a big job to install?
I would just leave the lift, fenders on and when I sell/trade the truck, usally its not worth taking that stuff off and I can usally squeeze an extra grand or 2 out of them for it. For the tires I usally have a nice set of bald tires kicking around and I just throw them on.
If I do my tranny up, that I would probally yank out unless sumone wants to pay for me to leave it.
