Question after a 3in body lift is done

[parli22]

Man Did anyone look bumper relocation brackets that they give for a 3in body lift for looks only

Front bumper hangs wrong and you really have to cut the frame in the rear or am I NUTS

I finish but the plates are gone on sunday
some metal stock arc welder and a torch will make them
functional

question for people that did a three in body lift hat didi you you guy do
and also did you steering fight you(stiff) went you turn the wheel
MIne is stiff and it looks like the rubber bushing that on steering wand to gear box is there any way to fix that and or replace the rubber bushing

OK, I have 97 Explorer, it use's a different 3" body lift kit then yours does.... But I lost my instructions. So yesterday I Called Pa and asked them to fax me new ones.... and I also got an extra piece of paper!

Steering bind fix for Ford Ranger and Explorer.

1. Locate the mounting flange for the steering column under the dash.

2. Unbolt the flange from the firewall.

3. Drill out the holes in the flange toward the top as far as possible.

4. Pull the steering column down as far as possible.

5. Reinstall the bolts and tighten.

(there were NO photos with this Fix)

Its does list the kits that are effected:
742, 743, 752, 753, 792, 793,
812, 813, 832, 833, 853, 883

I did have to cut the frame a little on mine for the rear brackets. I had to cut a 'U' shape out for the bolt heads to fit.

The funny thing, is I used the front bumper brackets from the 853 kit for my rear bumper, yeah I had to cut and drill them but it was easier then flattening the "rear bumper brackets".....
