    Here’s my best way to help.... don’t do it.

    And fix your camber... it looks off.

    not an expert but from what I have heard its a lot of work, better off with a suspension lift plus with body lifts you get a gap in between the frame and body..... Do your research-its your truck....do what makes you happy

    I have a two inch spacer on mine. everything works great but wanted to go cheap for now until I can afford a 3-4 inch suspension lift....
    I am not supper exited about cutting my cross member on a brand new truck for 4in and above....

    PS what size wheels and tires and brand on both, upload some pics if you can.....

    I wouldn't recommend anything over 1" for a body lift. Too much relocation after that threshold. Even with 1" you'll have to drop radiator, raise bumpers due to gap, extend ground wire and filler neck on gas tank, spacer on steering column....... i went there with my current FJC. On the plus side you wont have to do a BMC. or at least i didn't to run 35s of the FJ, but they are pizza cutter tires.....
