1" Body Lifts easier to install?
Are 1" BL's easier to install than 2 or 3" ones? My buddy was trying to tell me this and I wanted to verify. He was saying there is less disconnecting and reconnecting and so on. Any truth? Or is he full of sh*t lol

Re: 1" Body Lifts easier to install?
I don't know if there's even a 1" body lift on the market. Seems kind of pointless.

I don't see the thought process behind only installing a 1" body lift. You have to take the body off the frame either way

There is not a 1" body lift for our trucks. Aftermarket support is not strong and like you said, what would be the point.

Agreed. There's still a decent amount of working to do it. The 1" body lift is really for the people that think 3" is too tall. The 1" & 3" are both a decent amount of work.

I don't believe there's an aftermarket 1" kit available. You can build your own kit though.
OP, the reason you're getting so much bad information in this thread is basically because no one does a 1" body lift. It's still a lot of work, and if you're going to do that work, just do the 3".

You don't need to do any extensions with the 1", just bolts and blocks.
No extensions = less work.
