do I need anything if I add a 1 or 1.5 inch body lift to a 3 inch ome susp lift?
I'm currently running 265 70 16's on her now along with 3 inch ome susp lift. Thinking of adding a 1 or 1.5 inch body lift before I add a bumper and rock guards... Is there anything I need to do if I add the BL?
Thanks!

3" lift on stock tires and you want more lift? Get bigger tires.

I think you would be happy with the 1" at max and that is if you want to move up to 285's - you will need to remove the radiator shroud and put in the steering expansion.

I just got the 1" from toytec and sure like it now with the CBI bumper - no clanking and rubbing. Your splash guards behind front wheels will be stretched - prolly also a good idea to mildly adjust your transmission linkage - simple bolt loosen and tighten.

I was thinking about getting the 1 inch body lift but was wondering if i needed to adjust anything in the process such as steering and transmission linkage... Thank you for all the help.

When you order a BL, it will come with a steering extension puck to accomodate the height BL of your choice...and yes you have to adjust the tranny linkage as well,,,but that's the easiest part.
