The Body Lift Thread

[98MNChevy]

Not sure if this has been asked before, but.. If I was to put a 2" body lift on my truck along with the 2" inches I've already gotten from cranking the Torsion Bars and the 1" blocks I have in the rear, will I be able to clear 35s? Or would I be in need of a 3" body lift?

This is not something I'm looking at doing right now seeing as I just got new 33.5" duratracs, but later on down the road, this is something I'd like to explore.

I'd have to crank and trim with the 2"? How about a 3"?

Please forgive my ignorance but I am really new to lifted trucks and off road set ups. I have been trying to read everything on doing a body lift since that is the direction I want to go. My truck is a daily driver on a 30 mile each way ride so I dont really want a suspension lift. The things I have seen that I need to address when doing a body lift are the following correct?

Over heating due to fans now being higher than the Engine: Get electrical Fans set up
Ugly frame and inner wheel wells and other places: Get or make black spacers to cover
Rear bumper to low: Flip brackets upside down to raise it up
That is all the issues I have seen that I can think of.

As long as your cooling system is in good condition, you shouldn't have any issues, if you already have problems, be ready for issues

You guys thinks it'll look good with a 3inch body lift?
