    body lifts are ok if they are small and u have a suspension lift too and just need a little more tire room, whats the big deal, why does everyone hate them?

    I put a 3" body lift on my 96 and 5 years later it punched through the floorboard in three spots in the cab and i wasn't really rough on it. I did go wheelin but nothing extreme. I bought my 98 with it already on it, Otherwise I wouldn't have one again.

    the only one i'd consider is the 1 inch from toytec. Most troubles that you hear of with body lifts are the homemade jobs or the 3 inch ones. 1 inch bodylift just to give you that little extra tire clearence won't hurt anything nor would it look bad IMO

    Maybe if he put bigger washers inside the cab he could have prevented it.

    Lets see some more pictures of bodylift disasters, especially on tacomas.
