Been wanting to do a lift kit on my truck for a while now but, was always undecided on 4 or 6 inch suspension lift, I really didn’t want a to tall truck, I’m 55 years old . I leveled the truck with the bilstine struts set at 2.1 couple years ago, so finally I pulled the trigger on performance accessories 3 inch body lift ! I’m happy with the results, a happy medium on the lift, I can still get in and out lol.

Looks good !!! I will be adding a 3" body lift on my truck if we end up moving from this house since I won't be able to fit it in the garage where we will be moving to ... looks like a shop did it correct? How much did they charge you ?

No shop lol. My personal garage, I got a 4 post lift lol. Did it myself.
Nice .... it doesn't look like rocket science which is why I am going to do it myself too ... might just wait til my 37" tires need to be replaced because I would like to go up to a 40" tire if I add the 3" body lift ..im already at 7" with 37"s right now ...

Did you notice any tension on any of the harnesses up front?

Just on one front ground strap on the driver side above the front tire, when I was lifting the cab on the driver side quite high, about 6 inch, to fit the steering wheel shaft extension, it was a pain, i was wrestling With it for a little bit, but finally got to high enough to get it to fit. No damage though

Man you guys are lucky. My ******* didn’t check the steering shaft as I raised the body… the lower shaft stuck in the steering assembly and pulled out of the column. Getting it unstuck, back in the column, and fit with the extension added an extra hour to my install. LOL
