hmm...

i'll see once these guys call me back tomorrow.

i've got a friend of mine that i've worked with for about a year now. he's real handy. he lifted his jeep 6" by himself. i would feel kinda bad to bribe him to work on mine though. let me just get a confirmation from you though, i can get my truck 6 inches higher just with the 3 inch leveling kit, and 3 inch body lift?

sounds too good to be true...

actually, sounds too cheap to be true.

LOL

Plus whatever the difference your tire height will be. If you are running 31 ish size tires now and go to a 35 you will be going up another couple of inches + the 6 inches of lift you are getting. It's a huge difference. Anyway, I'm off to bed, check you guys later.

im off to bed too but thought i would chime in. if you throw just the body lift on and the 35's you will see a difference. and you dont have to bribe him, just ask him. im sure if he has done it before, he wouldnt mind helping do it again. the beer is for when you get thirsty and the pizza for when you get hungry! hahah. i am going to attempt a body lift on mine hopefully next month. i dont want to pay the 600 bucks for the install. but hey, it might be worth it. if you want to wait until i do mine, i can let you know how it goes. i am probably going to make panda help me!!!!!!

body lifts are not that hard unless you have a lot of rust... they are just really time consuming... but going with a name brand like Performance accesories BL the directions will tell you everything you need to do... the two biggest things before attempting a BL is besides checking for rust 1) soak all bolts with PB Blaster for a few days even a week before you attempt it and 2) make sure you have 2 days free or have a second vehicle while your doing BL.....


o yeah and spray the frame and under carraige very well with a pressure washer before you attempt it because everything is gonna fall all over you!

what i meant to say panda was "ask" you to help me! hahah. if you want to, you can come over and we can bolt one of my rims/tires on your truck to see how well she fits.

Man, I would like to put a little lift on my expedition but I have absolutely nothing. The only tools I have is a small tool kit. I have a buddy with a handy dad that I might ask to help.
