I've been trying to find a body lift but i cant seem to find one with the right year. Anyone know where i could find one?

performance accessories 3" body lift, search pa853, thats the part number...its for a ranger but will work...youll need to make your own bumper brackets using a template thats on the forums somehwere...

depends on how much lift. 2" you can just get new torsion keys up front or just crank the bolts, depends where they're at now. then in back, just get new shackles ($35). higher than that, you're looking at a superlift or trailmaster kit, but with a $2000 pice tag for 4" (not including a new driveshaft). personally, id ask for some bolt on mods, like an intake system or an exhaust system. if you give your price range, we can be more helpful . and welcome!

Were did you get Shackles for 35? Autozone? I've only seen Warrior Shackles for around $50. If those are Warriors, I'd be interested in were you got them.

Jd0gg919, I'd say go with the TT/Shackle and a 2/3 in body lift to start. It seems to be a popular way and there are alot of people that can help you out if you get stuck during installation. If you're thinking about a 3 in BL I'd do some research, I've heard of people having some minor issues with that compared to a 2 in.

Do you think that would happen to mine too? Or was it just one of those things that are possible?

i dunno, ive heard of a few people on here that have had the similar problem...ive seen people say they're ABS light came on, or the O/D light starts blinkn, or the check engine light came on...etc etc most related to the wiring after the body lift...thats just what ive seen talked about I'm not sure how common it is...

 

[Jd0gg919]

Alright. Nothin some money and longer wire can't fix right?

money fixes all

to bad theres not enought of it to fix crap. You always have to do it your own way. Me and my buddy for that Cuttlas project just cut, spliced, soddered, wraped and heat shrinked our wires..

 

[Jd0gg919]

Yeah if theres a problem with some wires, solder and splicing would do the trick I hope. I'm only 16 and thats one thing I can actually do lol.

 

[ZBlackBeast]

HA, going into that project, i bearly knew anything, now i know how to rebuild the bottom end of a motor, run a big ass wiring harnes, pull a motor ETC. Knowledge is in experience!

 

[Jd0gg919]

haha i hear that

 

[ZBlackBeast]

Yea, its amazing what you can learn if you just pay attention to the "masters"
