Mathew - you should also read the other information on the bodylifts at that site so that you know what you are getting into with the height of your lift.

 

Thanks for the input

 

when your jackng up the body make dont do it all at once to it slowly and look for hoses and wires that go tight so nothing gets puled o or broken

 

Polyurethane Body Bushings. Last way longer than rubber. Downey Off-Road has 'em cheap.

 

just wondering if any knows what kind of extentions are going to be needed??? thanks

 

You can see some of the typical things that need attention above 1" of lift:

don't let anyone hear you say bodylift, that's a no-no here.

BTW : I love bodylifts and would recommend them to anyone but there are quite a few people on here that refer to the ****lift as profane.

Great choice by the way.

 

$#@! them ignant *&%$head morons. I haven't heard ANYBODY, with any experience driving with one, say(TO MY FACE, LOOKIN' ME IN THE EYE!) any different than you. They can be a usefull device, don't go believing the bulldada you hear from these derilects on this site.

 

ok i did a 3 inch bl also. it is very smooth but remove the bracket that mounts your 4 wheel drive shifter on the tub it is right behind the t-case if that bends it is a bitch to get back into proper shape

 

Does anyone know with a 3 inch lift if any hoses and such will be stretched to tight or break??

 

i have one no hoses but i had a ground wire that i had to move the gas tank hose need to be adgusted some of the house are tight and you might need to unbolt a bracket to give it some space nad just cut a longer hose later

 

As posted above, feel free to read over the following instructions and notes about installing taller body lifts:

Hard to give any specific details, as these tend to vary by year and model vehicle and even within a given year. For example, I had shifter issues on my '85 w/ 1" body lift and had a buddy install a 2" lift on his '85 and he had no issues at all. Nothing you'll run into is insurmountable, some hoses/wires might need some adjustment or relocation.

 

I appreciate the feed back thanks alot guys

 

i love my bodylift and it helped out my approach and departure angles tremendously. I couldn't wheel without it.

 

I have a 2" body lift ..Hard brake lines in the motor bay were stretched broke rear ground on the motor off..

i found instructions worthless. just keep your eyes and ears open while you install each mount.

 

yeah, instructions might as well been toilet paper

 

ive got a couple sets of intruciton. the one that came with the lift and a set of the net with pictures and stuff so hopefully they come in hand,, im just waiting til the cold weather to end here to i can get er done up!
