Because a body lift raises the front and rear? It's much cheaper?

Yes exactly..Price for a suspension lift kit .... it's too expensive for me, +/- 500$ + shipping costs + custom cost..
Maybe later. .

And I have an other question.
A friend of me have a factory and they create CNC machined parts, laser cut.... .
