    They look like crap and are unsafe in the event of an accident.

    I bought my 97 with a body lift...and I hate it and cant wait to take it off!

    -It looks like shit...you can see the frame, gaps between the frame and body

    -More airspace between the body and frame and other components, so you have a lot more noise at highway speeds

    -They make your truck ride like crap..mine rattles and shutters like crazy off road.

    -they aren't safe, in a bad enough accident the body mount bolts can pull through the cab and the body can shear off the frame.

    -The pucks can punch through the bottom of the body if you offroad too hard

    -Increases body roll on the road because you are propping the body up X"

    -Did I mention that it makes your truck look like shit?

    Dont get a body lift....

    If you need your truck 3" higher, then run tires that are 6" bigger in Diameter. Cut a ton, then cut more and add gears.

    Done.
