How to Drop Spare with body lift on 3rd gen
I just bought a 2" body lift from Roger brown. I was wondering if anyone found a way to drop thier spare tire with the body lift installed. Roger said I might have to drill, or try make a shortend crank tool. Anyone got any other sugestions. Other wise I gotta go with the crank tool.

NO NO NO!
Pop up the piece of plastic on top of the rear bumper, just held on by clips, crank down the spare easy as pie. No more than you will use the spare, easiest way I found to get to it w/o modifying the crank cause you MIGHT go back to stock someday!

Hopefully its that simply Brian. I Cant dream it will be that easy. But I trust you. Hopefully I can set that up same time I do the body lift. I was looking for the body lift write up on your page. but its gone now. Let me know if you got your 3rd gen body lift write ups posted somewhere else now.

Its acutally that from the movie "bloodsport." When they meet up with that chbby chinese guy in the back alley. Its a phrase I use quite frequently. Its just another way of say Okie Dokie or if you perfere Roger That.

And if anyone else has install writeups, please forward the pointers to me and I'll add links off my page. Lets folks read other versions of the install, since what one person may find to be a trivial issue not worth mentioning, can be a show stopping problem for someone else.

Damn, I wish I could afford that Steve. I am already starving my self to save money. so I can buy my new tires. I didn't eat out one night for 2 weeks so i could buy the track drop bar from you. Other than that, I need to find someone to do the crossmember install for me. I really wish I could pay you Steve to work on my truck, but Im stuck on a Damn island. Damn this el nino weather, its gotta be 90 degress out side and its humid as hell....

I just drilled a hole thourgh the bumper pad. The rod goes though the crack but with the hole drilled I dont have to pull off my bumper cover and scratch up the paint and wear out the clips.
I am thinking of raising my crossmember 2 inches but just useing the stock cross member and getting 2 inche legs welded too it. Think it will work.
