Body Lift is in

Well finally got around to installing the body lift which I have had for awile now(sorry RB) and WOW what a difference. This was a very simple install with only 2 minor problems. First the bottom coolantr hose got tweaked due to the new height so I had to trim about 1" off each side to make it fit, I will have get a new one when I put the drivetrain lift in. The other issue is the shifters. After the install I couldnt get either one to move. So I removed the covers and noticed that the shifters now rubbed the side of the cut out and the rubber/leather covers are to tight now not allowing for proper shifting. This also will be fixed once I get the driverain lift installed. Overall I am very pleased with the new height and will be trying it out at Uwharrie after Bird day!!

I had to cut the floor but when I tried to replace the boot it still woulnt move due to the shifter length and the boots minimal "stretch". This will be rectified when I put the drivetrain lift in. So for now its "bag time".
