Default Body Lift or no?

I been contemplating this for a long time and I need to be bigger. I like the look of the body lift alot considering the price difference from a suspension lift. So should I buy a body lift? And what all do I need? New bumper brackets, shifter extension, fuel pump extender. Anything else? And where is a good place to buy one that would have everything included?

Body lift kits include everything you need as far as bumper relocation brackets and steering extensions. I say go for it. You won't need a fuel pump extender or anything because it should be on the frame, and your engine will stay at stock height. As for where to get them, not absolutely positive. I know LMC Truck sells em. Performance Accessories is your best bet out tthere. And if your truck is a manual trans, you may have to make an extender for it. I know some guys have had problems with that before.

Do the body lift, cheaper than a suspension lift and the parts accessories kit comes with everything you need. Check them out on summitracing.com

Can't wait to get this only 2 months till I buy it and install. As far as the shift extender what would you do? This is gonna sound redneck as hell but would a threaded peice of conduit work and then just put a black sleeve over it? Lol

Hey. I am a redneck. lol But I have an automatic. If you search it up in the search bar, I believe 08 Sport 4x4 or close to that username did something on it.

Well take a look at my pics under my profile. I have the same size with the body lift. They don't look that bad.
