Body lift questions?

[that white kid]

I ordered a pa body lift last night and i was just thinking when i put it on will my exhaust be at the same spot it was or does it move up with the lift

I have the single exhaust not the dual

 

[TXKID]

It'll still be in the same spot

Same spot...mine was 3" below the bumper(after 3" body lift), check out my build thread as I have pics of how mine looked before I fixed them

so i can just take it to a muffler shop and they can fix that?

Yes sir

 

[that white kid]

how much do you think it would be to do that

 

[quietpeen]

As said above tour excuse won't move with the body lift. I would think it. Should be under 100 for a shop To raise the tips

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Yeah it cost me $110 to have my exhaust tips lifted and new magnaflow installed...not a bad deal at all!

not a bad price considering the welding and bending to get the magnaflow in.

 

[TXKID]

Also he just needs one tip raised so it should be even less...

its not too bad, just need a LOT of good drill bits. drilling out the stuff will eat them FAST

 

[that white kid]

i read the instructions and it says no drilling or is there no drilling if you do it right

Make sure to paint all the stuff you cut, install the steering extension in the right place, use everything that comes in the kit. Just what I learned from paying a shop to do it that HALF a$$ed it and I've been cleaning up their mess. Still have to figure out what is making my ESC light come on just from a body lift install?

 

[that white kid]

They probably forgot to plug the stuff in because in the directions it says u have to unplug quite a bit

I would imagine the size of the BL will determine how much work. I have a 1.25" and I did not have to touch the steering at all. You will have to drill the bumper brackets front and back becasue the bumpers will need to be raised. I did mine by myself in my garage. Took about 5-6hrs with one run to the store for new bits. JJ is right, make sure you have new bits. Also don't put your face under the body mount bolts when you remove them. All sorts of dirty water is going to come out. Best not to get covered in it. It is an easy install. Just remember it will not get done in an hour or two. Take your time and don't rush anything.

Yes if its the pa 3" you'll have a steering extension and have to drill the bumper brackets.

I've went over every connection that get's disconnected in the install. They left a lot of grounds off and they tried to replace em with like little 18guage wire. Im hoping that is the issue. Either way I had to drive 1500miles without cruise thanks to them.

Hope your install goes better! post pics after and if you see anything that would cause my problem lmk! haha
