    I have the 3" body lift. I tried running 35" tires with all suspension lift first and decided I wanted to reduce strain on the drive train by adding the BL lift. The BL has been great and I use the VX as my daily driver without any issues.

    You can't see an "air gap" between the frame and body because the awesome VX body/cladding wraps down more than other vehicles. The frame does stick out in a few spots which can be a little unattractive. I used rock sliders to cover up the sides and am still working on making the back pretty.

    In your case, I wouldn't go for a 3" BL because it will be too much for 33" tires. Instead go with a 1" BL and a 2" suspension lift or just keep the 3" suspension lift. The 3" body lift works well for 34"-37" tires.

    I'll snap some better pics today so you can see for yourself.
