how much is the going rate for putting those pucks on?? also with only 1 inch body lift ( only to keep the tires from rubbing at full flex) what else should i look into? do i need extensions of any kind? thanks guys.

 

Rabbit. i have looked. been looking all morning..the search criteria sucks! it brings stuff i dont even need.. a few questions i really need answered are

1. what to torque the bolts to when installing the pucks
2. do i need any extensions like for steering, bumpers, 4 wheel drive stick or anything of that nature.
3. best company to buy from


any simple answers would be appreciated.. plus if someone else has the same questions they can simply type in body lift and this info will show up EASILY. making the search more convenient..just my opinion.. thanks guys

 

Don't know about the torque specs, but I believe Sonoran Steel and Wab Fab both carry body lifts. For one inch, I doubt you will need any extensions. Going rate should be 2-3 hours @ what ever your mechanic charges (~$90/hr?)

 

Check out Roger Brown's (AKA: 4crawler) website Body Lift FAQ it should provide most of your answers.

IMO if you can turn a wrench and have access to some blocks and a couple of floor jacks you can install a BL yourself. Sure someone else could knock it out for you in a few hours but no satisfaction in that

 

I have a 1 in BL on my 95 4runner and it went on very easy. I would say do it yourself and learn some things about your rig. And I didn't need any extensions at all.....just don't lift the body too high cause you could put some unnecessary strain on parts that don't need to be strained.

 

I would also buy it from 4crawler thats where i got mine shipped to my house for 95 or so dollars. Pretty good if you ask me.

 

dang thanks guys!! anyone happen to know torque specs?? its an 02 taco

 

i would go to 4crawler and do it yourself. it is super easy, just lift the body enough to put the pucks in. and only do one side at a time. it will only take you 2-3 hrs by yourself, or 1-2 with help.

 

The FSM should have torque specs for the body bolts: http://www.ncttora.com/fsm/2003/index.html

It may seem a little confusing at first. I know when I was looking at which kit to go with I did a lot of searching and reading, and just kept putting it off. I would say now just contact 4Crawler and get it shipped. There are step by step instructions to walk you through the install, and in less than an hour or two you'll be riding higher.

 

i dont see the torque specs in there man.. heck maybe i cant read but i really cant find it.. thanks!

good luck with that bro u need to put some pics up when its done

one more thing, my truck is an automatic tranny.. will it affect how it shifts? also with the 4x4 shifter.. thanks again guys

 

yeah i had just read that a minute ago.. it says 85 yotas but 30lbs of torque should be plenty

 

Yes, no need to reef down on those bolts, it's not like a head bolt or wheel lug nut after all. You just want to make sure all the parts are fully seated, the body mount bushings are compressed slightly and the nuts are nice and tight on the bolts so they don't loosen up.

 

You can adjust the shift linkage for the lift:

Maybe we can assist eachother, since I ordered mine on Monday.

 

dang all of this seems like a more trouble than its worth (talking about the 1 inch lift period) seems like it would be easy for me just to cut out some of the wheel well guards to keep from rubbing a full flex.. the reason why i wanted the lift is bc on my 02 taco it has 245/75/16 tires and i want 265/75/16's and from what i read it will rub at full flex when the wheel is turned. any other ideas perhaps?
