You are not alone. I don't think anyone can find a good picture of a 3 inch body lift.

Ha.

But seriously, you could go to eBay or the manufacturers websites, and they often have pictures of the kits installed on trucks.

Pretty easy to tell,hang straps of cardboard along the bottom side of the tank and frame.

There's a myriad of issues that come with a body lift. The bumpers are the start of it, followed by the fan shroud & shifter link, fuel fillers, brake lines to the m/c and the frame gaps; along with the low hanging fruit fuel tanks & straps.
My very first Square had one and I reckon I got accustomed to it. I was also a poor teenager with modest means. 30 years later I'm finally rebuilding the High Sierra & there are no plans for the body lift. The pic is from '95 & yes I still have the F-body too.

I had one with a 3" body lift. Installed by a PO, not me. It looked like ass.

If I had a rig with a body lift, I would modify it to look like it did not have one. Build some brackets to raise the bumpers for example. Then it would have the body lift, but it would look like a suspension lift.

So this is the one that clues you in that he's an idiot?
No, I got that feeling from his first 484 posts. Figured nobody is that dumb but I'd give him/her/it the benefit of the doubt. I suppose I should just "ignore" him/her/it before I get really annoyed. Didn't we have someone on here in the recent past that was just here to make stupid comments for attention and get people riled up? Wasn't that long ago, I wish I could remember their username.

Get some 2" Add-A-Leaf springs upfront, then install some 2" +/- spacer blocks on the rear & call it good!
