Simple answer is, it will require a lot of work.

There are several spots on the frame that will need to be notched out and really best to be re-welded. When I say notched, in a couple spots pretty good. It can be done, but unless you are really good with fabrication, I'd let a professional shop do it.

With a 1.25" body, there will be no issues though. I know because I just installed some last weekend on my truck.

I second musclemckeester...I did the 3" PA body lift and this is why im not doing amp steps! To much fab work for me, but it can be done! Thats why im just going to do black nerf steps.

ya its not worth that much to me haha money pit is all it is

Just do the 1.25" body. It is still a noticeable difference and your steps will still work fine.

chadster21 · Oct 23, 2012

is it really noticeable? i didnt think it would be maybe il do that

GlOcKnRaM · Oct 23, 2012

If you really want the amp steps Id say just do the 1.25"..if your more concerned with more height and not steps then definitely the 3"!!

Chad, this is exactly what I told you :005:

Do the 1.25" and call it a day. You won't have to fab your power boards.
