I started a thread about tire Clearance at full compression here;

In rock crawling, we frequently ran 1" body lifts for an extra bit of clearance. These were often high quality aluminum pucks, not the typical injection molded stuff.
Anyhow, based on my experience detailed in the thread above, I think a 1" body lift could be the hot ticket for clearing aggressive 35's or 37's when the tires get completely stuffed. It would probably be easier and cheaper than modifying the wheel wells for clearance.

I agree, the soft stock mounts cause a lot of the bed dancing. I know Greg Foutz and others use aluminum pucks to firm up cab mounts for the roll cage. On a daily driver you would have a shit ton more NHV (noise, harshness, and viberation).

If you are running solid body mounts, yes you would have more nhv transmitted to the cab. However, unless you are caged and tied into the frame, you do not need solid mounts. The 1" aluminum pucks we used are stacked on the stock body bushings, so the stock body isolation is retained.

well here's the pics after the body lift. the only thing i havent lifted is the wicked front bumper, I will need them to make me a new skid plate if i do lift it. Give me some input guys, I dont thing it looks bad. Its going Monday to get the mid perch done.









Oh and a side not, I ordered +12, I got 4 boxes that say +12, I measured +12. end of story

i am not normally a fan of body lifts but i dont think the lift looks bad. with mid perch it will sit very nice. i will say this for a truck that will be 90%+ on the street that is a very good inexpensive option. to obtain that height on these trucks with suspension they want an arm and a leg and a 1st born, there also isnt many options either like there is for ur average truck...

it looks alright. If you like it that's all that matters
