How to: 3rd Gen BODY LIFT. Install.

[djbrown88]

anyone have any difficulties getting the steering shaft apart? i undid the bolt, but cant seperate anywhere... anyone have to do anything special?

More force .. which equates to a bigger hammer

Mine just slid apart after the bolt was out.

I bought the coil spacers from road bully and had them installed yesterday. pics will be up later on. But i looks great and the parts were actually alot cheaper than anything else available. and as a customer his product is definately worth it.

Cobra - I got a set coming from RB. Ordered and paid for them when the exchange rate was a bit better, but you could probably still get a full set for under $400 to your door. Well worth it, IMO. Mine should be here in 3 to 5 weeks.

Ok im not satisfied with just my RB spacers knowing that i can get a body lift also. i have a few questions before i finalize my choice of doing it or not, if yes ill proly do it early early spring

1. i just bought 265's, with the body lift will it make my truck look odd with those size tires. or should i get a 2in kit instead of a 3
2. i tow a trailer once in a while 6x12 enclosed. i proly wont use a back bumper bracket, will that require me to trim my bumper to fit
3. how long do you expect the install to take
4. oh and last question is Anyone wanna pay for this

Thanks

Chris

It took me 7 hours to get mine installed, and that included the time at the shop making a 1/4" rear bumper adapter plate that held up to towing a dodge up a hill, and a tree off the trail this past week.

Kinda like crack isn't it Chris? Once you get started with the build you just want to keep going and going.....

I saw in a previous post that you might be able to fab up the rear brackets and make them for sale. if so can you let me know if you will, im not in a hurry to get them just would like to by the end of the year if its possible.

Thanks Alot RB

It's possible, but I've got to buy my sheet metal bender first.
I've already ordered my Pipe bender so I can start working on light bars and rock sliders...
I'll keep you updated.

RB, if you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living? You certainly seem to have all the gear as well as plans to use it!
