Well the spacers and shackles will be easier and will take less time to install

Info on your vehicle?

It would be helpful to add a signature line with all of your truck information within it so people can tailor answers to your specific vehicle model.

went with a 3 inch body lift, did it myself, not bad, very happy with the results. I totaled it and got the frame straightened out and the same kit is still on it. They're tough.

Thanks for the link Logan it should be set up now. I plan to cut the front fenders, run 32" tires and build a flat bed for it. I don't need more than 3" of lift at max.

I hear a body lift is a PITA.

Also hear coil spacers will compress over time.

The suspension settles over time (getting broken in) but it still holds up okay. Mine had sagged down from like 2.5 inches down to like 1.
