I had a 3" body lift on my 02 crew cab. I never had a single problem. The only way a body lift will change the "ride" is if you install polyurethane cab bushings when you install the body lift, they are harder than the oe rubber cab bushings. Some people say body lifts are cheap and dumb, thats their opinion. It's your truck, use the kit for a V10, it will be safe, just use your head when putting really heavy things in the bed, a quad, fine, a full bed of gravel or dirt, probably not fine. I agree with you that those last 3" can cost a bundle with x-over steering, driveshafts, etc. Body lift is way cheaper, just make sure you get lift lips to hide the gap. BTW, I put the body lift on my old 02 because I tow a large toyhauler, wanted 40"s, and did not want a super long drop hitch. With a body lift your hitch will not be raised, I had a 6" drop, perfect. When you raise your rear bumper, only go up 1.5", it will fit the body of the truck o.k., and your reciever won't look like it's in no mans land. Hope this helps!
