Title: body lift?
Post by: Tip Over Ter on December 09, 2007, 10:03:23 AM: Hi everyone, I havn't been here in a long time but I figured I would ask the PRO'S :lol: . I would like to install a bodylift I got from ebay. The kit only comes with spacer blocks and longer hardware. The only things I can think of is I have to trim my fan shrowed but what about my sifters inside the cab and is there anything eles that I need to be aware of?
So thanks for your input and keep the rubber side down
Terry

I have one you can have for free if you need it.

You need to relocate the shroud, as well as do some trimming along the lower corner where the rad hose exits.

Relocating the rad itself, or doing a motor mount lift in conjunction with the body lift are both better methods of getting stuff lined up right.

You also need extended front snubbers, and potentially a t-case shift bracket.

With brand new complete body lifts costing 85$, I cant imagine a partially complete ebay BL being worth it.

I have all the spare parts for about 3 complete body lifts. Let me know if you are missing anything. We can dig something up for ya.
