Body lift????
Hey all I am new to the forum and would like to know i anyone knows whats better between the 3" body lift from Performance Accessories or from Zone Offroad? I currently have a 6" from RCD and LOVE it the only thing is my front tires rub a little when I am offroading and it is really frustrating. I have always steered away from body lifts but I feel it might be the best thing I can do... Any suggestions would be great!!!!! Thanks all.

What's to know? The real issue is what kind of wheeling you do. Big tires and a lift to accomodate them is contradictory issue. The big tires help you go over bigger stuff, but the lift and the tires make it easier for your more top heavy rig to tip over when you go over the bigger stuff.
Another issue is sight lines, the higher you lift your truck the less you can see near your truck, so picking your way through a rutty, rocky road can be more problematic.
I even find trying to park between the lines in a store parking lot is pretty much like working blind after you make the first turn into the space to back up and straighten out. I have the extended cab so this is a bit more of a problem than a smaller wheel base pickup.
