I currently have a 6 inch rough country lift on my truck with 35 inch tires. I like to add some height. I was thinking of a bodylift. But I'm thinking the 3 inch will show too much body. They also have a 1.5 inch lift. But not sure I want to spend a 1000 bucks on a 1.5 lift. What you guy think ?

For a good kit you are paying 400 in Canada. But its also the hourly cost to have it installed.

6" plus another 1.5 ,I am guessing you are thinking 37or 8" tires . 6" already makes 35s look to small

They charge 400 for the kit. But 600 to 800 for labor expenses. Cost is one thing. But more concerned about look. I'm running 35 inch tires now but when they are worn out I'll got with 37 or 39

so wait... you're concerned with body lift prices nd you're already lifted 6 inches, and buying 37 o 39" tires? those are pricey as all get out. What you've already done is pricey. gotta pay to play

Yea man it's never cheap getting anything done unfortunately and for that exact reason I say go with the 3in BL, WAY more bang for your buck. 1.5in is a subtle difference where 3in you are definitely going to feel higher up and the truck will look sick with the 37s underneath. I plan on getting a BL in the future and know for a fact im going with the 3in, same reason I went with 6in suspension over the 4, higher is better lol.

The 3” body lift won’t show too much body. You will see your headers/manifold exposed but that’s about it. I’m running the body lift plus a somewhat tinkered with RC 6” suspension lift. I clear 38x13.5r18 all day long. Wheels have a -12 offset. Minor plastic trimming on the front valance and the wheel well liner. I will say this. Makes changing your rear shocks amazing from the added space for your knuckles haha.

I did 1.5 for a little bit then decided I wanted to do the 3". The three inch was easier to install than the 1.5 and look fine as far as the frame goes. Rams are not like some, the body covers the frame better than most to begin with and 3" looks just fine . The Red truck in the avatar has 3" . I gave that one to my daughter . I now have a Black reg cab Sport that I am going to tinker a little with.

I fit 37's with a 4" lift and 1.5 Body lift.

400$ is a pure rip off. Zones are like 150$
