Bigger body lift

[wrestler157]

Ive been doing alot of research in body lifts lately and was wondering if you could make a body lift bigger than 1.5. Maybe off a tacoma or something? And if you cant go bigger than 1.5 why not? Thanks for the help

This thread explains it pretty well. I've seen bigger body lifts and the gaps look horrible. Unless you're trying to squeeze in some huge tires, I wouldn't go bigger. There's also a safety issue the further you separate the body and the frame.

The problem with running too tall a body lift is that there will be a lot of lateral force on the bolts used to secure the frame to the body, the longer the bold, the easier it will be to leverage them. That's the basic theory anyways.

you should get a suspension lift instead. your walking into a flame war with this whole BL topic

To the OP, don't do it. The bumpers look funny, there is too much frame showing etc etc. What lift are you running now and why do you want to go bigger (I've gone through 3 lifts so I understand the going bigger stuff btw) but is it for looks or bigger tires or what?

Im about to upgrade suspension also but im going for bigger tires. And wad curious to see if i could go bigger on the body lift. Thinking 2" but i see it wouldnt look right with bumpers. Also i would love to go all suspension but its hard to go over 3 with our trucks so i was thinking body lift even though im not a huge fan. Thanks for the input though
