Question for the guys with a body lift
Ok so I might be getting a 3inch body lift soon of a member and I got a few questions first,
1. I got a trailer hitch thats bolts to the frame and to the underside of the bumper, so when I add the brackets to the bumper to lift it can i still tow or what should I do?
2. I got side steps that I like quite a bit but is there anyway to raise them with the body lift? If not Ill just take them off.
3. Also what do you guys do with your tow hooks?

You might be better off getting a hitch like a class 4/5 that just bolts to the frame. My body lift kit came with the relocaters to lift the bumpers as well and the instructions said not to use the bumper as the brackets weren't as strong. As for the side steps your gonna have to make brackest to lift them to the propper hight. My tow hooks stayed right where they were as thats the strongest point, the only problem is that the lower valance wouldn't fit with the hooks there. I was told to cut the valance to what I needed but it lost its strength and looked like
So I just left them off. Gotta still figure that one out for meself still.
