Have a 1.25" body lift on the way. Any tips/tricks to the install? Never done one before. How long will it take? Special tools? Any advice would be great.

air tools. impact. DO NOT try to do this without it.

high powered drill with some SHARP bits. You are drilling through the bumper brackets, they are a *****!

And......don't lay right under the mounts. Sometimes they are filled with nasty ****. LOL

Good advice here. I did mine with hand tools, because I only have a 3 gal. air compressor. If I had a larger compressor I think I could have done it in 1/3 the time.

Right here!!!!



What a day! Went to my uncle's house and we put the body lift on the truck today. Dad helped out where he could, and took a LOT of pics!

RCX sure could do some things a little different........and for them to say you HAVE to remove the headlights, grill and top bumper pad to do this? Nope. :D Just lift the body up and pull the damn bumper. :Wedgie:

Anyway, here's some pics!

started out fun..........got a faceful of nasty **** when I zapped the body mount off. :D
