Got a body lift but..

[4x4ranger99.]

So, last week I got my 3 inch p.a body lift. I don't want to spend tons of money for some place to install it. I have no clue how to do it, and no one else I know does either.. If someone around the Tampa area is willing to help me install it i'll be willing to give you some cash.. Thank you all.

Their pretty simple if you have some basic tools and follow the directions

they come with instructions...follow them

The hardest part about installing the body lift is getting the old bolts out!

other than that, the instructions are pretty much the way to go. one side at a time, and a good jack to lift the cab up.

there's a good write up in the tech section here:

we followed this our first time and did it in my driveway. the second lift we did we got to use my friends hydraulic car lift (very easy!!).

we are doing a third on my vehicle next weekend.

and i always say this when doing the body lift. buy new body mounts also. James Duff has some real nice poly mounts. you will most likely destroy the current ones if they aren't already bad to begin with.

or do it this way:

i had one cherry-picker and borrowed another. since you're not doing a full body swap you could just use one cherry picker on the rear and then on the front after you slipped in the rear mounts

actually, that's a very good idea! it would definitely support the body with ease one side at a time and you wouldnt need to deal with the blocks of wood etc to take up the "slack" between the jack and the body.
