give me the pros & cons for a 3" body lift

[wetbackZO]

I bought a perf acc 3'' body lift kit together with new poly body bushings, I've heard both sides of the story here in town but it ain't enough. You guys know your chevy stuff pretty well so tell me: yes, no, maybe??? The kits are going in a 79 k10 lwb, one of the rear cab mounts decided to dissapear last time I was wheelin in the Rio Grande!! Hence the poly bushings. There seems to be no rust whatsoever around the body mounts, so I think I might be lucky in that area but I would consider reinforcing the body there. What are your thoughts on this, and if you installed a 3'' body lift on your vehicle, have you had any issues??? TIA.

I run one on my 97 1/2 ton std cab short bed but it doesn't go offroad. Don't think I'd do it to a k5 main reason being a suspension lift is all that more money

Pro- cheap, semi easy to install (rust will make it hard)

Con- Don't look as good (bumpers too low, see too much frame).
