making body lift?

[spare52]

ok i have done some searching and im to cheap/poor to go buy a body lift when i can make one my self! and from what i have been reading people just do that hockey puck thing and me personally will not do that!!! so i wanted to know if anyone has made a good body lift or am i going to have to start and just wing it myself? lol i want to get about 2" of body lift.

any help?

Thanks, Spare

I don't know about bumper brackets and other stuff...guess you could look at a kit made for your truck and see what kind of pieces you need and then measure and make them yourself. As far as the lift blocks, I know you can get 2"-3" body lift blocks for a couple of dollars a piece off of ebay or amazon. I don't know how many body mounts there are on the 1st gens, but whatever that number is, order half as many of the below 3" blocks, then cut them in half so you have 1.5" blocks and then you'll have enough to do all of your body mounts.

we built a body lift for my buddy's f 250. all we did was use a old drive shaft, cut it into blocks, then wielded some large washers to it. for bolts, we used some of his old head bolts from his motor.

I made my own 1" BL out of some solid aluminum. It has been on there a while so its not as shiney as it once was. I was able to reuse a few of the bolts so I only had to buy about 4-6 longer ones.

cool thanks guys!

my first thought was going to just get some steel tubing and weld washers to the top and call it good but it seems much easier just to get the body bushings from amazon for 2.50 a pop lol
