Never mind.... I’m an idiot.

I think too much. That’s my problem. My wife would disagree however

The guy in the video only installed the 2 body mount spacers behind the bumper? Can you do just that without using the rest of the body mounts to raise the entire truck body? In any case no wonder shops want good money to install a body lift . It's time consuming to drop those little blocks under there.

Thanks man!

Hey, another question. It says for the rear body mounts to use the small washer ?!? I used the stock gig flat washers with new bolts [emoji2369]

Yeah it fit... I’m just wondering if maybe the new bolts don’t go in all the way. You figure they would have just sent two longer bolts [emoji2369]

Another observation. I didn’t move my spare winch and I can still lower Ana raise it lol. It’s not ideal but saved me some time

I think I remember using all new bolts for the lift, but having to reuse the washers.

Sorry to bring up an old thread. I’ll be installing the BL soon. The body lift spacer goes between the body mount and actual body right? That video shows the actual spacer going between the frame and body mount bracket... or am
I missing something lol

Hey sorry. Just saw this.

You lift the body up and slide the spacer in between body and frame

Hey folks. I just ordered the 1.5 body lift kit as it was on sale and well, F it. found a PDF of the instructions but kinda garbage IMO.

When drilling for the new brackets front and back is there a template or am I just suppose to measure on my own? And it mentions adding these metal blocks which I think are bed supports? No need to weld them right? And how will I know which bolt uses the spacer and which bolt uses the support blocks ?

Any tips would be great. Just the tip.

Thaaaaaanks

#20 is where my brain melts a tad

Hey Man, hope all is well! I remembered you had recently installed your body lift, I did one on a 2015 about 4 years ago now, I now have a 2019 classic warlock I'm putting one on, just did the level 2 weeks ago, and just orders the body lift! The only thing I can't quite remember is the front relocation brackets, when you punched the tabs flush with the frame mount is that the spot where you drilled your 1/2 inch hole through? Any pictures from underneath would be great! I just can't quite remember this step and I'm trying to prepare my self to knock the install out! Lol, thanks for any help!
