Message: Make new mounts so they'll sit higher or take them off. THe ones that hang low are crappy looking.

It was pretty easy for me, I have a machine/fabrication shop. One of the other members "DakotaFan" has smittybuilts. They said the smittybuilts are easy to modify for the bodylift. I'd look into them if you don't already have nerf bars
Most nerf bars mount to the body mounts, mine are mounted to the frame. I got some steel and made new ones. Primered and painted them god and put them on. I actually lifted them 3.5" so they would be tucked up under the body more.
Check out 2thextrm's truck, he did the same thing. He has pics on his yahoo site:
