Body Lift
I am about to purchase a 3" body lift kit, but I was told that if I do that, it will leave a 3 inch gap between my bumper and the rest of the car. Is this true, or is this another case of 'pull one over on the girl'?

Re: Body Lift
There are brackets that bring the bumper up as well in your "kit" I believe.

Re: Body Lift

Re: Body Lift
I don't see how a body lift can reduce towing capacity by any noticeable amount. It would probably be that you r obviously gonna put bigger tires on it and that might alter the towing a little but I wouldn't worry about it if your just towing a jet ski anyway. If you go with anything else you will be spending twice the money probably.

Re: Body Lift
I wouldn't tow a jet ski using just the bumper after a body lift. Unless you got Trevor's brackets
Those PA brackets are crap. You can actually bend them pretty easy

Re: Body Lift
O i didn't even realize she might be talking about the bumper. Regardless body lift or not I would go get a hitch. I would not tow anything from the bumper I were you.
