Pickup Body Lift Kit

I have a 94 Toyota Pickup and was looking into a body lift but have a few questions about them. Do these kits come with back bumper brackets? Some say they have front bumper brackets, but what about back bupers. Also i have a hitch, will that affect anything? If i put this in will i have to re-route brake lines and cabls and stuff like that? I dont want any more than 3", is there something cheap (less than $150) that would be better than a body lift? I am new to Lift Kits so i would like to know all i can. Thank You

i believe that rear bumper brackets are made... however the hitch will not raise up with the body, you will either need to keep it low where it is at or remove it and have a custom one made....

the instructions that come with the body lifts tell you if things need to be disconnected priopr to lifting.... all the cables and hydraulic lines were fine on my truck... however one seems to be a bit more kinked now then it used to be, ut it still works, i will replace it with a custom softline when i get a chance...

I dont know if the pickup is differant or not. But on the 4Runner the rear bumper is attached to the body. there for it gets lifted with the lift.

Check www.4crawler.com Roger has lots of info on there.

DONT BUY THE Preformance Accessories KIT

the bumper on the pickup is defineately attached to the frame.... thats the reason i refuse to put a rear bumper or a hitch on my truck, stock they hang down really low, and i have a 3" bodylift on my pickup

contact rodger at the link provided above, and most would suggest ordering from him as well. if a body lift happens on the truck, RB will be the way i go.
