Sounds good?! This plan sounds awesome! :-) Eventually I want to go with a
full suspension lift but the price is out of reach at the moment (assuming they
make one for the '98's)... If they come out with a quality body lift for the
'98's sometime soon I'll probably do that as a short term fix to get at least
the body out of harms way.
Kyle, do you have to wait 'till next summer?! Hell, I can't wait to see the
results! I hope you are going to take a lot of before & after shots... Do you
have a web page or some other way of detailing/showing the install?
Good luck.
T.

Sounds like a good plan to me I just wish I had the cash to put in the
suspension lift. Cost was the main reason I went with the Body Lift on my
truck it was about 150 all together with everything i needed to buy and it
took a few hours work with a couple of friends. Good luck with the lift any
reason why you are going to get the 4" over the 5" ?
