Okay I have enough money to spend on either one, a Performance accessories 3" body lift or a Superlift 5.5" suspension lift. My question is the SL worth the extra $500? Here are my questions: If I buy the 5.5" will I need to buy anything extra like Steering stabilizers?
I want to put in 33" and I know it can't be done without trimming, how hard would it be to trim the wheel wells in comparision to doing a whole suspension lift, and will it look bad?

Any commentary is VERY apprieciated thanks.

Oh yeah, lift is for looks and not for offroading. Will 3" lift be noticable? thanks.
 












I would agree...............if just looking for enough lift to fit tires, go for the body lift.
 






i agree also because thats what i did.. the body lift is hardly noticable. if you want some pics shoot me an addy.
