The 3" body lift necessitated changing to longer body mount bolts, adding lift lips, raising the bumpers & tailpipe, lengthening the filler neck & steering shaft, extending the t-case shifter, lowering the fan shroud, and extending the nerf bars hangers. But even without the lift, the nerf bars join frame to body, which transmits noise & vibration from the chassis into the cabin. The body mounts are sagging, which leaves the body mount bolts loose, and the body in danger of sliding around during normal driving, or of breaking away from the chassis in a collision or rollover. Right now, the body is offset on the frame ~1/4" to the right, which is negligible.
