Doing a body lift is a false economy... as you get no real extra clearance as your chassis is still going to be what you get stuck on. You'll also have to modify your bumper bars (or bull bars), and quite a few other bits & pieces.

You'd be far better off doing a suspension lift. Though if you've got that already then perhaps get some bigger wheels if you need more lift... but then you might want the body lift to give the bigger wheels more clearance, but start with the suspension first, as it's the important stuff.

Good luck which ever way you go.

Radiator has to be lowered or you'll need new hoses (what I did), fan shroud will need to be "modified" (cut) just a bit so your fan won't hit it if not lowered. 4x4 shifter will need to be bent forward or the opening in the floor will have to be cut a bit to get it into 4low - some people install a shifter from a hardbody which solves the problem. Thats all I can remember right now
