Default BodyLift Help

Hey Guys, I was hoping someone could help me get an idea on how my truck will look with a 3in body lift. I'm thinking about buying one but I want to see how it'd look first, any help is appreciated guys!




If anyone could help me out with this right quick it'd be great!

Just do it. I just bought a 3" lift for my 2011... I'm so nervous something horrible will go wrong. But if it goes right I'll be sitting tight!

That is a good suggestion. I like mine. I wish it was suspension. But I like the price. If anyone could possibly get me pictures and dimensions of the bumper brackets. That would really make my day. Wanna fab some but have nothing to go off of.

----------

It will give yours a much better stance.

I bought my kit second hand and they had the wrong brackets. Honestly I don't even know what car the brackets would go on. They aren't like any I've ever seen.
