Body lift

My truck isn't a 4X4 so I want a body lift to get a nice look to it. What are some pros and cons of getting a 2 inch body lift?

 

Can't speak much about well done lifts, but since nobody has chimed in yet, I'd urge you to avoid low buck hocky puck lifts.

I see them because I'm nosy and tend to peek under unique vehicles. I am only really familiar with them on solid front and rear axle trucks, but I have heard of people stuffing similar blocks between their springs and spring seats.

The basic idea is literally a block between the axle and leaf springs, with longer u bolts. Problems that can happen are cheap hardware breaking, sliding out of place, and if one were to go to a big lift, abnormal stress on the driveline joints.

Suitably unhelpful? Hope you have at least a couple pieces of food for thought.

Anyone you know personally have a lifted truck? Ask them what they did, and more importantly, why they went the way they did. Nothing like checking options out in person!

 

Whoops, you are right. Now that I'm at a real computer and awake, I feel dumb. Should have just limited myself to my main point of doing it "right" and not with sketchy homebrew. AKA, longer bolts, and shove hockey pucks between the cab/bed and frame. Link below shows how simple a body lift can be.
