Considering possible lifts..

Soo Im not entirely ready for a lift.. Ive done some research and found out that there are 2 types Suspension and Body.. and that usually you want to go suspension first then if you want more lift you can go body.. however body lifts seem like a more troublesome type of lift..
well I figure my first step would be to go with those :cornfed spacers: seems like many are using this setup then I can go with newer coils and shocks eventually right?
I saw this on Ebay
Is this a good deal for a lift? thanks

If you are going to look into that route, I would recomend you go with the Revtek kit... avoid an off name ebay lift!

I 2nd Goudyman's post.
Check out a "brand name" that people have experience with. I don't think the suspension is any place to skimp out on.

Ive read about ppl having to adjust or lengthen the steering collum, also rear bumper and tow hitch not aligning anymore and needed to be raised... This sounds like a big pain in the to me. AKA troublesome and thats just what Ive read.. Im sure there are other things that I dont even know about yet when it comes to body lifts.. heck there alot of things I dont know about any types of lifts thats why I asked..

Ahhh, you've done your HW! That's a good thing. For a BL, the most annoying part was installing the steering spacer. I kind of did it to myself because as I was under there, the steering wheel had spun 180 degrees without me knowing. Therefore, once I got the spacer on, it was actually incorrect! Other than that, there really isnt much to it. In fact, I am a little surprised that more people do not go with BL's. The spare tire alignment really doesnt matter. The point is whether or not you can get the tire down, and you can. It just takes a little more braun. Let us know if you have any other questions. Besides, I could help you with the install if you get a BL!
