what do you think about suspension vs body lifts

[T-SPOON]

My boy told me that ..if I go 3 inches with a body lift, that would be O.K. ..but not any more than that if I care about how it looks (showing frame and all) ...he said there is no need to spend all the extra money on a suspension life for 3inches..

What is yall's opinions..who all has suspension lifts and who has body lifts...
Thanks alot ..doing my homework

I prefer apples.

A 3" bodylift combined with a front level looks great on our trucks. Plus you keep all of your factory suspension for a smooth ride. I ran that combo for years and loved it.

Awesome !!..i'm on it !!! Asap

I have never ran one, but for just looks I would say a 3" body lift with a front level will give a comparable look of a 6" suspension lift. So i guess in my mind it comes down to the question of will you be offroading where you would benefit from the extra ground clearance of a suspension lift.

Now George, when you say "our trucks" do you mean your gen. or Rams period.

i guess he knows a little about some stuff..he has a Z71 and seemed to know what he was talking about..i am glad he was on the right track though considering the cost difference in lifts..lol..by the way honestly its more for looks..she is 2wd so it definitely is not for off road purposes..atleast anything serious..lol..
