considerin a body lift for my '04 1500 4x4. anyone do one on their truck? if so was there any issues that were run into? wires, filler tube for gas tank, steering components, etc

The only issue you will run into is making everything line-up. If you take your time it will not be a problem. Get some buddies to help, it makes the job easier. The wires should'nt be an issue either. Just take your time and move them as needed. The steering linkage comes with the kit go that want be a problem.

did a body lift on my 2wd ranger when i was 16. thats been almost 13 years ago though, can forget alot in that time. wasnt sure if the filler tube as well as linkage and all was gonna be a big issue or not.

if i remember right i saw a d.i.y. vid by rubberfrog how to do it. just wasnt very sure how much of a pain it was gonna be

As long as you go with a good kit from a good company you shouldn't have any issues.

i was lookin at a 3" performance accessories body lift with the gap guards

 

[moparman33]

for those who have body lifts, would you recommend performance accessories? i have heard from one or 2 people that they are good. just wantin to check with those who have run them on their rams.
and also with a levelin kit and a 3" body lift i should be able to squeeze 35's on right?

Performance accessories makes a good body lift, so does rough country. After you get the kit on you will be able to run 35's with no problem. If it were me I would invest in some wheel spacers just to make sure the tires didn't rub. Just my 2 cents

alright i appreciate it. sad thing is i have a '04 4x4 so rough country doesnt make a body lift for my truck. its 06 and higher. so from what i know my options are fairly limited. i was just wantin to make sure P.A. was a good brand. ive never bought their stuff before. and as far as the spacers, im just gonna go with some after market wheels with 4.5" back spacing. hopefully that is enough. if not then i will have to go with the route you said and throw spacers on
