06 Body lift

Hey guys sorry I haven't posted just had other things on my mind. I put the back bumper on as is, so the hitch is showing under the bumper. I don't like it but it will have to do till I get money to do something about it. As for the front bumper, my friend took a torch to the brackets. By trial and error we made them work. Cut a little at a time until the holes line up. I pulled him out 4 times and he got my front bumper on, love how things work out.

I have pics I just don't know how to post them, can someone tell me how?

P.S. DON'T go pull your friend out of a trial full of water filled ruts after you put the body lift on but not the front bumper and have an intake!!!! I did and lost my engine! Muddy water got in and FU[&ED the rings on one of my pistons.

Use photobucket.com to post picture links from there to hear. I too am thinking about this body lift since I am in the market for new tires. Was going to get 265-75-16 and this lift.

If you plane to off-road go with body lift and rb lift with 285-75-16 or 285-70-17 same height 33" that is what i have does well off-road.

P.S. for those who have class 3 hitch use 1/4 steel plate that is what i did works well class2 just flip it as for air intake I used kkm air intake.

so i am starting on my lift this morning, I have everything laid out and ready to go, Just confussed about which bolts go where? I have 8 that are the same link and then 2 each of 3 different lengths. ANy help would be awesome.

 

[bigone65]

shortest goes in front and just behind drivers seat if that helps.

P.S. take your time on bumpers to line them up just right.

 

[ryno_rx8]

awesome thanks and the front ones get nuts put on correct? because you have to drill out the threads on the very front? I've read all 15 pages like 4 time to make sure i have it right. the ones you have to put washers on are right under the second row seats correct?
