i think a little is ok but too much and they look like junk... 3 inch is too much i think with 1inch being preferable and 2 inches the max....  seeing mass amounts of frame and space between it and the body doesn't look good to me... they are mainly just good for fitting bigger tires.

1.25" for me.  I know some guy's running 2" but then he's also running 39's and has the cage built into the frame.  The one think I hate is that the shifters sink into the floor...

I'd only go more than 1 inch if it meant losing the shovel they call a transfer case/transmission support.  Tummy tuck....

how does a body lift effect the driveshaft angles? Wouldn't a 1" (or more) body lift to go with a 3" suspension lift require the SYE. Am I wrong?

Doing a body lift wont raise any of your driveline, so if you had no problems with a previous lift, the angle wont change, the only somewhat related thing a BL can do to the driveline, is move the rad & shroud up relative to the engine fan.
