"And wats the difference between a spring lift and body lift other that the obvious lol not planning on hardcore 4x4 driving"
Why do you want a lift and bigger tyres?
If your wof issuer follows the letter of the rules then any lift and any larger tyres will require certification. This is about $400 above and beyond the cost of the mod.
Also the bigger tyres will reduce power and brake efficiency. The lift and bigger tyres will reduce your ability to go round corners. Also for some unknown reason bigger tyres on 3.1 bighorns really chews the fuel.And check your insurance. The bighorn looks fine on 31s and its a good compromise size already bigger than standard but not so much that things are very affected
There is no point in doing these mods unless you have a real need for them.
A body lift is blocks place between the chassis and body. A suspension lift is winding up the front torsion bars and either spacers or new springs in the back. There is a little more to it but thats what you are up for
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
