You cant do a body lift, its a unibody so theres no frame. I just did a 3in RC and 1.5in coil spacers and had to do a tc drop cuz of the vibes. All good now. Im lovin the RC though. I can barely tell I did a lift. Smooth. Maybe I got lucky but it rides nice. Carparts.com for 3in lift $227.99 with tax and shipping to your door. Best money I've spent . Also had to put in a rear brake hose from a 96 4x4 Dakota[ 6in longer]
