I know im bringing this back from the dead but I just finished the 3" on my 07 and step was right. to do this right it will take alot of time. I did it with modifications. Still works but I need access to a welder to get the rear bumper to work. But it looks great Took me and my buddy about 9 hours total time since we had to run to the hardware store a few times.

Hey guys. Sorry been moving and havnt had time to get on As far as the rear bumper if u have the welded on hitch like mine Normally the number cover sets right on the hitch. Once the body lift is on u need to weld metal spacers between the hitch and cover to support it.

Update on my ex: getting the tranny built now. Having everything honed sleeved. Bigger converter and sealed electronics put in.

Also. Anyone near ky we need
To have a little meet and greet sometime soon!

 

[renzAy34134]

Could you also just cut the hitch off and raise it the three inches and weld it all into place? or you think that would be a little unsafe if someone decided to rear end you??

 

[FLOffroad]

I'd be more worried about loosing it as a recovery point.

 

[renzAy34134]

well it would still be there just higher, like in the stock position.

Or literally not strong enough to get pulled outta somewhere???

 

[stepj19]

Well it's welded to the frame. The body lift doesn't raise the frame so if you cut the hitch and moved it up u would barely have any frame to weld to.

 

[renzAy34134]

ye ai was going to make a .longer bracket so i have a lot more area to weld to. Obviously do it right but thats the only thing i can come up with without havinga huge gap inbetween cover and bumper. Which looks totally horrific.

Mine is on the road and is a blast to drive. Its not a 4th gen but close enough. It is a full suspension 6" kit with 2" extra in spacer lift. for 8" total from stock, 45" from ground to top of inner fender in front and 43" in rear with 35s

 

[stepj19]

Wow. Nice. So I'm guessing this won't bolt on my 4th gen? Lol. To bad we don't live near each other. Bet we could turn some heads if we cruised together

 

[willied]

Wow, that thing is sick, man!

Looks awesome, with the wheels and tires how much would your whole set up cost? Can I do it myself with regular garage jacks and tools? How much if I had a shop do it?
