I put a 4" BDS lift on my 07 yukon about 8 months ago and now I wanna go bigger! Should I just do a body lift or try and swap it out with a 6" lift? Need some advice thanks everyone and happy new year!

Imo a bpdy lify and 6inch suspension lift will do just fine. Alot of guys knock it.but they cant prove how its bad besides seen alil frame. I had body lifts on vehicles for years, have towed narly shit and they havnt even moved a lil. Good cheap way to lift bro

Sell the 4" lift and buy a 6".
BLs look too cheap to me. Others may think differently.

The frame gap is the ugliest thing on a bpdy lifted truck I've seen trucks with extended fender liners to cover it up which looks equally bad. Suspension lift or no lift.

here we go with this again lol ,

Body Lifts : Are a good way to lift a vehicle just to get a little extra height on top of a suspension Lift , It doesn't change the ride of the vehicle (except for being more top heavy obviously) And if all you want is another 2 inches or so I say do the body lift it will save you a lot of money I would imagine

The perk to a Suspension Lift is like stated no body gaps and ACTUAL ground clearance the only bad thing with a body lift is In reality it doesn't gain you any ground clearance except for maybe your angle of attack from your body the only amount of ground clearance you will gain is from the larger tires you can now stuff into them which if your going from a 33 to a 35 for example will net you another 1 inch of ACTUAL ground clearance

Exactly and the whole point of lifting is for looks and clearance.
Body lifts don't gain clearance and they create gaps.

I have to agree. I have never been a fan of body lifts. They perform and provide no additional function. Swap out the suspension lift...
