Wow, um. Punctuation helps alot.
First off, You shoulda searched, You coulda found a thread about common 3vze problems.
Then you coulda found a thread about the pros and cons of a body lift.
If your worried about it being top heavy with a 3" bl, take it out.
Go on some mild trails get it slightly of camber and just wheel it, get comfortable with it...

thats not what he asked scoobie...
he asked wether or not a 3 inch BL will RIP THE FLOORPAN up...
no... it wont unless you try to lift the truck up by the body...
theres a lot of people running 3 inchers and other than the problems with the bumpers, steering, and brake lines, they havent really had problems...
as for the 3vze motor, do a search on here...
they are reliable torqy little motors if you treat them right...
and yes, they ARE dependable... my odo with 260K proves that...

Try trail riding a 4runner and you'll see that whoever told you that is wrong too.

Calm down. 
EVERY motor out there has it's common problems. Alot of people have problems with head gaskets, but ALOT more people have never had a problem. I recently burnt a valve in my 3VZE, but that's what happens when you hold it pinned towing a trailer uphill with over 230k miles on the clock.
I'm not into body lifts and I would take it off, but alot of people like them because it's cheap clearance. Put a locker in the back of that thing and you'll shut everybody up who says they don't offroad well.
