Looking to lift your truck or suv but don't want to break the bank? Check out a body lift kit from Performance Accessories! These kits are available in 2" and 3" size and are priced right.

What is a Body Lift Kit?
These are kits that are designed to lift your truck or suv by installing 2" or 3" high grade nylon spacers between the body and frame of your truck or suv. All kits are custom fit for a specific vehicle and include extended high grade bolts that replace the factory body mount bolts which allows for the nylon spacers along with any required brackets or hardware. Because the suspension is not changed ride quality will remain the same and new extended shocks are not required.
