I need some lift kit photos

[Jim Oaks]

They don't have to be your photos. Even better if they're the manufacturers photos of the kit, or pics of kits that don't exist.

From time-to-time people will ask who made the lift kit on the truck they bought. It would be nice to have a reference page of lift kits to help people identify what they have or what they found. If you have anything, please post them here or you can email me at jim@(this website).

If you have any pics of lowering kits and think I should create a page for that, you can share those as well.

Thanks!

Wish I would have taken pics of the ones I’ve seen in junkyards. I’ll have to keep that in mind.

That said, I have an old set of James Duff axle pivot drops on my Choptop. That and my 88 have long arms that I built. Where I got the joints and frame bracket for the arms on the 88 and the joints on the Choptop is no longer in business. I can get pics of what I have though. Do you have any specific angles you would like the pics to be taken from so that it is easier to compare?

I just used a peice of square tubing that was 1.5 x1.5 with a whole drilled thru it body lift no suspension

You can't even find body lifts anymore.

They are so complicated...

I can't find a steering shaft extension for a body lift so apparently you cant even buy individual body lift parts anymore.

My Truxxx 1.5" level from the Truxxx website. They have 2.5", 3.0", and 1" rear blocks also.
You can't really see the thickness here but they are very stout pieces.

I need pics of the Superlift extended radius arms for the 1983-1997 Ford Ranger.

It's the bushing bolt body bearings that made them too costly to make.

You know where there's lift kits in junkyards???

Here is one pic I have. Not sure how helpful it'll be

Superlift 5.5 brackets, Superlift 5.5 coils, Skyjacker extreme drop pitman arm, Skyjacker 6" coils(the newer looking ones)

Probably crushed by now, but yeah, I’ve seen a few in junkyards, usually the Rough Country or Tuff Country el-cheapo stuff.

I'm going to be in Ohio in April. If you know of any, I'd like to go salvage them. I don't care what the brand is.

Skyjacker Center Hinge Brackets with frame reinforcing bracket:

Skyjacker Extreme Drop Pitman Arm:

Skyjacker Radius Arm Crossmember Drop Brackets:

Superlift Extended Radius Arm Frame Brackets:

Rancho 2.5" Lift Extended Radius Arms and Brackets:

That last one should look familiar...

WTF!!?? @SenorNoob

Do you have lift kit parts laying around in the snow??

What are you going to do with those Rancho arms? Did I sell those to you??
