Very nice ride.... Did you buy it from the dealer that way? Or did you add the 5.5" yourself?

I am the anti body lift guy. I hate body lift so, Dont ask for my opinion .

You know I have heard some very negative things about body lifts myself... however, if it is for astetics only and it makes someone happy, what could it really hurt right?

i agree that body lifts are not nearly as great as a susp lift but if someone would like to give their truck a little extra, i dont see a huge problem. but only work if you put the flaps in the wheel wells to hide the air on the other side.

i don't like the seethrough ether mainly on the bed. i didn't think of flaps to cover the wheel wells good idea

Not a big fan of body lifts either. But, hey it's still a nice ride.
