Ok, not sure where to post this, but this is as good a place as any...
I've seen this dicussed before, but I need some answers. I'm looking to make a body lift out of hockey pucks, before you start to reply with "no don't do it" I will tell you that I am convinced after reading many posts that pucks are very capable of dealing with the extremes presented to them under the body of a vehicle. On that note... I need to know somethings about the PA body lift.
The shifter extension, which end of the shifter does it go on, the end inside the tranny, or the end that the shift knob goes on? Also, I have a manual transfer case, does that shifter need any sort of extension?
The bolts, I've seen the bolts that hold the bed to the frame, they're more of lag screws. What do the bolts that hold the cab to the frame look like? How many threads per inch, whats the length, and diameter?
Steering column extension? I've heard some people say it's needed, others say it isn't, whats the deal?
How many pads are needed for the total lift. I know there's six under the bed alone. So, how many are under the cab/front fenders?
Bumper lift brackets?
I know this is a lot of info that I need, but I've never got a good look at a body lift before, any help is greatly appreciated.
