Do it yourself Body lift?

[Beefy'sB2300]

Just wondering if anyone has already done one or could give me a little information. I am looking to do a body lift and wondering if anyone knows what size of bolts and how many i would need to do this I think i could fab up my own bumber brackets or if someone has some designs all ready that would help too. Also my truck is a manual and not sure if you have to get a shifter extension or if it was optional? And any ideas for a steering extension? Thanks all help would be apreciated.

Well I did mine by myself in my garage in only a few hours if that. If you get the PA kit it should come with the bolts and some thread lock. I didn't use a shift extender either but i couldn't bolt the boot back down or every time i shift it would pop into 4x4. you have a different trans so... I would reccomend it.

use hocky pucks and tractor supply bolts

^^Don't.





Why piece together something that'll work when the full kit that has everything you need is so cheap???

yeah dont........hockey pucks arent strong enough to hold the weight of a truck.....they'll deterorate

some 2x2 steel tubing and new bolts will do the trick if you can match up the bolts which is a pain in the ass if your goin 5" or higher like i did, but a 3" works well and you can fit up to 33's with no problem. Shifter is no problem so dont worry bout that, it actually gives it a short throw kinda feel

and what about the steering extension?

why do a body lift at all....save for a suspension lift

^^I'd love to own a TTB/TIB truck......about half the price to lift it compared to my truck. I wouldn't BL a TTB/TIB truck. Just suspension it.



Someone quoted me above and I'm being lazy...so i'll answer here. Anywhere from $100 to $150 for a 3" BL of that vintege truck.
