yeah its a 5speed. i was just wondering if a suspension lift and body lift did the same thing or not. but thanx for the advice

No they do not. A suspension lift lifts the vehicle from the axles up, resulting in everything on the frame (drivetrain, body, bumpers, etc.) to go X amount of inches higher.  A body lift only raises the body, leaving the drivetrain, bumpers, etc. at the stock height.  If you only want to clear bigger tires, a BL is a an ok option, and definitely cheaper.  I actually have a 3" body lift in a bag right now, its of a 2nd gen truck, so its should have alomst everything you'd need.  I know you'd have to make 1 puck, because the truck it came off had an engine fire, and partially melted the body mount at the radiator core.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "
