Is there any harm in doing a slight body lift? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

I just picked up a '73 cab for my truck and its going to go on my truck after i do some sheet work to it.

I was thinking that when i mount the cab up i would block the body mounts up an extra inch to inch - and - a half.

I'm not really concerned about making the truck look higher, but it seems like a good idea when it comes to cleaning mud out from the undercarriage and preventing future rust.

I have heard that it could mess with my steering or shift linkage, but it seems like such a minor lift.

can anybody think of any reason why I shouldn't do this?
