Removing my 3 inch body lift

Hey, I don't like seeing that much frame so i'm removing my body lift. I need some info on how to do it cause my coworkers don't know how. i have some pictures of the body lift but there on my computer at home so i'll post them later.

It just looks to be those spacers with bolts under the frame mount.

just let me know, thanks.

That's the basics, but with a 3" body lift, you will probably have a shifter/steering extender and maybe a radiator drop bracket also.

If you can just find some body lift installation instructions (any will work), just reverse them and you should be all set.

just find a way to lift the body off the frame a hair bit, unbolt the blocks, and bolt it back up. you will probably need new harware as your will most likely be to long. youve most likely got radiator drop brackets, gas filler extender, a steering and shifter extensions

We have lifts at work that can lift my body. I'll try calling a place an see if they'll send me the instructions cause I'd like to get the body lift out on monday when i do my CV axle and pinion seal. had to take a day off of work cause i have no free weekends. any ideas on a company that could send me just the instructions for free?

Look on summit racing for a body lift for your truck. Alot of times they have pdf links for instructions.

Thanks guys I'll look at those tonight. I'm pretty excited. 12 hours to get infront pinion seal, passenger side CV axle and remove body lift. Took the day off and the shop closes at 8 so we'll see what I can get done.

Yes, removal in the opposite of installing one. See below for some other info:

We send out a few "body lift removal kits" a month (basically all the stock size hardware to revert to stock).
