Well, I tend to like body lifts as part of an overall lift.
They dont raise the center of gravity as mush as a equal size suspension lift.
They dont change steering geometry or driveline angles.
The truck needed new polys anyway, and the body lift kit w/bolts is cheaper to buy than trying to just find the right size bolts alone for the poly.
Im having tube bumpers made and this way they wouldnt need moved up later if I decided to someday do a body lift.
The 36's are temporary as rollers while I work, I just ended up with them when I bought the rims, so I figured I needed more than just the 6" suspension lift.

Is there something wrong with BL's?
