why are you looking for more lift would be helpful
and you already have a gap between the frame and body a body lift just makes it bigger which isn't necessarily bad

Please visit 4Crawlers web site(to order a BL for one...) and read up on BL's. LOTS of good info on there. I personally wouldn't do more than a 1 or 2" BL EVER. Not a big fan of BL's anyway, but that's JUST ME.

To start, the only thing gained is clearence for tires, no additional suspension gains. Second, they make you top heavy. Third, if its a poor quality body lift you will have problems to deal with.
If you wanted a decent body lift though, I wold go with www.4crawler.com and get the RB kits. my .02

Other wise a lower center of gravity is better. big tires + little lift + flex = good combo.

I've never bought anything from 4crawler, but his knowledge and info are worth $$. He's a great guy.
