why is it yours seems taller than mine, and yours is mostly body lift?

well he dose have you beat by a whole 1". cause he has a 3" body and 2" keys. 5 inches. but 1 inch? im thinking its cause the body lift makes the tires look like they have more room. idk. or it could be the 20s.

Not sure it's only 1", we could measure wheel opening heights to compare. It might be the picture angle or the tire & wheels !!!???

 

[nvycrmn]

not sure. either way, she looks great!

 

[mmrseed]

um...it is like really purty. What is the exhaust setup if I may ask?

Perhaps this is what the other meant by cleaning up the bottom, but that truck is way too pretty to have that rust showing on the hitch and under the front bumper.

It has gibson shorty headers, no Y pipe. Out through stock cats all 4 Duals all the way back. The 1 muffler is magnaflow 2.5" 2 inlets and outlets with built in X pipe.
Just had the exhaust lifted back up to the bumper and new Magnaflow SS tips put on.

Yeah I know, sucks living up here where they salt the roads ...it seems year round.No shortage of salt. I going to have to clean it up I want to get a new hitch that sits up higher and new front bumper + I've got the gap guards to put on still, then I'll paint the rest black.

I have a 97 that I got from my parents and it looks awful from underneath. Rust everywhere. There is really nothing you can do about it. Cant really see mine since it is not in the sky like yours. lol Looks good though.

sand it with a wire brush then spray with cheap black spray paint... I do mine every year before shows since winter kills my truck up here too... but I've tried many different things from expensive paint to undercoat and nothing lasts so I buy the 88 cent cans of black paint at walmart and go to town every spring

wow. looks awsome man. great job. been a while since ive been on here. ive missed alot. been so busy i forgot how much every one had going on

 

[GAINMOB]

so whats better...body lift or actual suspension lift...

 

[walnuts4x4]

well cost is body lift... couple hundred versus couple grand for suspension... but with a BL the ride is just like stock because it is still stock... but suspension lifts are a lot firmer and I like the ride with them... but its what u wanna spend... me I got all of them....

Like Walnuts said it comes to $$$$$ body is ok,but get gap guards!!!Suspension is nice but can get pricey + there's aligments and driveshaft problems maybe ?? It kinda also depends on tire size you want??? I'm happy with 35's right now but maybe 40's would be nicer

oh cool! are the navigator tail lights also plug and play or do some wires have to be cut and spliced? they look much nicer than the LED tail lights that are for sale by some other companies.

What does the engine compartment look like after a body lift? Can you post a pic of that? Thanks,Brian

 

[nvycrmn]

brian, from the side you will be able to see the side of the engine a little more but you get the gap guards to fix that.

I'll try if I get a chance. Basically the same the fan shroud moves down and you can see in the sides .. with my truck you see the headers .but I 've got the gap guards to put on.
