I'm looking to install a body lift on my 92 amigo . My question is is it a good thing or a bad thing to install a body lift. It would be a #' inch lift since it is the only one i can find.

I have the 3" body lift on my 92 Rodeo. Have not noticed any negatives yet. You are right...the 3" is the only body lift kit you can buy. Some here have done 1 and 2" lifts but that involved piecing everything together.

do you think the body lift was worth the time and money?

I think the bigger tires were worth the time and money, and without the Bodylift, the tires wouldnt fit. So yes.

Worth the time and money? Absolutely. It did take me a little longer than 5 hours cause I was working by myself and didn't know what I was doing other than instructions. And I did get mine for $80 instead of $120.
Other than fitting larger tires, one thing I didn't really think about is, it gives me a lot more peace of mind now that my rocker panels are 3 more inches away from those rocks. So you can go through rocky sections a bit quicker, it helps more than you would think.

probably, but it will definitely cost a lot.
Figure in $60/hour minimum 5 hours, thats $300 in labor right there.
