Daystar Body Lifts, Gap Guards & Body vs Suspension Lift Options
Choosing between a body lift vs suspension lift depends on your goals. A truck body lift raises the body off the frame without changing suspension geometry, ride height, or ground clearance — making it an affordable way to fit larger tires without altering your truck's ride quality or towing capacity. A suspension lift raises the entire truck including frame and axles, providing both tire clearance and increased ground clearance for off-road use. For truck owners who want tire fitment without the cost of a full suspension lift, a Daystar body lift is the most budget-friendly solution.
For full suspension lifts with Fox, NX2, or coil-over shocks, browse our Lift Kits collection. For front-end rake correction and mild height increases, check out our Leveling Kits. Upgrade your shocks, steering stabilizers, and upper control arms through Suspension Components, or browse all suspension products under our Suspension collection.
Pair your body lift with a set of off-road tires and aftermarket rims from Wheels, protect your paint with fender flares and mud flaps from Exterior, or add a cold air intake and exhaust system from Performance. For towing setups after a lift, browse trailer hitches and towing mirrors in our Towing collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a body lift and a suspension lift kit?
A body lift raises the truck body off the frame using spacers between the body mounts, giving you room to fit larger tires without changing ride height, ground clearance, or suspension geometry. A suspension lift raises the entire truck — frame, axles, and body — providing both tire clearance and increased ground clearance for off-road driving. Body lifts are more affordable and do not affect ride quality or towing capacity, while suspension lifts deliver a more complete height increase for off-road-focused builds.
Are body lift kits safe and reliable for daily driving?
Daystar body lift kits are engineered with high-density polyurethane spacers and vehicle-specific mounting hardware that maintain factory alignment between the body and frame. When installed correctly with all included brackets, steering extensions, and bumper relocation hardware, a body lift does not affect your truck's handling, braking, or daily drivability. Thousands of trucks across North America run Daystar body lifts for daily driving without issues.
What are the pros and cons of a body lift kit on a truck?
The main advantages of a body lift are lower cost compared to a suspension lift, no change to ride quality or towing capacity, and enough clearance to fit larger tires. The drawbacks include a visible gap between the body and frame (which can be covered with a gap guard), no increase in ground clearance, and limited height options compared to a full suspension lift. For truck owners who primarily want tire clearance on a budget, a body lift is the most cost-effective option.
What is a gap guard and do you need one after a body lift?
A gap guard is a flexible trim piece that covers the visible gap between the truck body and frame that appears after a body lift installation. Without a gap guard, you can see through the gap to the frame rails, wiring, and components underneath — which affects the finished look of the build. Gap guards are especially recommended for Ram 1500 and GM trucks where the body-to-frame gap is most noticeable from the front or sides.
Can you still tow and haul with a body lift kit installed?
A body lift does not change your truck's frame height, suspension geometry, or weight-bearing components — so your factory towing and payload ratings remain unchanged. Your hitch height stays the same because the frame position is not altered. This makes body lifts a strong choice for truck owners who want larger tires without sacrificing towing or hauling capability. For hitch setups and towing accessories, browse our Towing collection.
What size tires can you fit with a body lift kit on a truck?
A 1-inch body lift typically allows you to fit tires 1 inch taller than stock without rubbing. A 2-inch body lift opens enough clearance for 33-inch tires on most trucks. A 3-inch body lift kit on a Silverado 1500 or Sierra 1500 can accommodate 35-inch tires with proper wheel offset and minor trimming. Exact tire fitment depends on your truck's wheel offset, fender clearance, and whether you have added a leveling kit. Pair your body lift with the right tire and wheel combo from our Wheels collection.
