About to order a PA Body Lift, couple of questions...

[SportTracRollin]

Okay , first off if you guys don't mind could you all help me out with a link to like the cheapest PA BL that fits my 2001 sport trac??
And secondly about installation, how long do you think it would take if me and a friend and his grandad worked on it? Thanks alot!

it should take roughly one day. but plan on a weekend starting friday night. so if anything goes wrong you have time to get what you need to finish the job.

Do a quick search, someone else just asked the same questoin a couple days ago and found one for I think $257. I'll try and find the thread and where he found it from.

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Ok, just looked and it was you, LOL. $270 is pretty good price.

As far as how long, first lube the hell out of all the bolts so you don't have as much trouble fighting them. You live in the south so they shouldn't be that bad. Like LL said, about a day or two depending on if you use air tools or hand tools.

Just alot of little tedious things to disconnect and reconnect. Check off every step off as you go so you know you completed eveything and make notes on the instructions booklet as you go for reassembly, it helped me out greatly doing this. I did mine mainly by myself with hand tools, had a buddy help move the bed back and fourth on the rearend (didn't remove completely).

If I was you I would see what condition my body mount bushings are in. Cause that body lift is going to wear them down if they arent already. Can do it all at once.

 

[SportTracRollin]

i just looked over the instructions online, haha looks like a job. i have to do all of that??

 

[SportTracRollin]

hey rockstar email me a pic of your truck, i was wanting to put hids and halos in my fogs like that haha sounds sick please

It looks like alot more then it really is. Just alot of tedious littel things that take up time but you said you'll have two helpers so you guys can knock it out fairly quick.

 

[SportTracRollin]

yeah hopefully if they have time, theyre the ones that know what theyre doing

 

[MidnightRebel07]

I did mine primarily by myself and hadn't ever done a body lift before. The instructions booklet is pretty straight forward some of the steps you need to do out of order (atleast I found it easier to do some of the steps out of order).

It's been a couple years and I've moved a couple times since then but I'll see if I have my instructions booklet still, I had alot of really helpful notes I made during the process.

 

[SportTracRollin]

haha would you have a way for me to look at it?

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Not promising anything but if I still have it I'll make scan it into my computer and email it to you. I'll look around for it tomorrow, I've been meaning to try and find it to see if I still have it or not because I've helped probably ten or so members from here and myst.com do their body lifts via email, phone, text, etc..

No one lives close to Pittsburgh so I could actually help out in person, it would be nice to have members around my area to hang out work on vehicles together and go wheelin' together.

 

[SportTracRollin]

yeah i hear you, i actually saw shooterdudes trac in columbia when i was up there with my gf a couple weeks ago, it was funny because when ii saw it i was like dannggg, that was the first lifted trac ive ever seen in person before and i got on here that night and saw shooterdudes signature and it matched the truck i saw exaclty, so i pmed him and it was him haha

If I was you I would see what condition my body mount bushings are in. Cause that body lift is going to wear them down if they arent already. Can do it all at once.

I just checked them, the front two and the middle two are wearing out especially on the bottom, but the back two seem to be fine. could i just replace the front and middle ones? and i hope im not missing any more.

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Can't find the booklet but I'll keep looking, I've moved a couple times since then so I'm not sure if I still have it.

Whenever you get to doing the bodylift if you have any questions I can help you out like I've helped others.

 

[SportTracRollin]

ordering tomorrow!! any sales?? help me out! haha

 

[SportTracRollin]

well i guess 4wheelparts still has it for 250, does that include shipping? the website says free shipping on anything 75$ or more. i hope so...
