Body lift

natewalden · Apr 7, 2012

Anybody know if I can install 2inch or 1.5 body lift without doing anything else like wirers steering and such

On a body lift you will have to extend the filler neck and brake lines for sure.

IMO it would be easier to just install a 2" lift front and back. You won't need to extend anything as the stock suspension has 3" of room the extend three the factory suspension

All that labor for a inch and a half ? LOL

Well I will be seeing how hard the laybor is on a 1.25" body on my truck. I don't want a 3" body.

im just look to clear 35 12.50 20 I dont realy want a big lift so I thought if I fab a small body lift pluse the 2.5 spacers and lift blocks on rear I would be good

Well if you can fab a 1.5" body up I think you will be fine. Remember you will have to raise your bumpers and if you have duel exaust you will need to raise them as well.

Its a 25 hundred no duels yet. Thanks again

What about longer controll arms I know that 2.5 inch coil spacer pushed the axel towards the door im justnot sure how much

Stangshcky12 · Apr 7, 2012

Wait where are you rubbing?
I've done 35s with a level on a few 2500 now and from my experience a body lift won't help with the rubbing
If your rubbing on the lower part of the fender near the drivers door longer control arms should help
