Body lift on the way!!

[AaronLG]

Got one from a guy on the other forum. Can't wait for it to get here. I'll try to take pics of the install.

Take A LOT of pics at every step. You'll be everyone's hero who wants to do this. Dgray used to have a write up, but I think all the pics got deleted.

I agree, I would like to go with a body lift when I do my spacers and TT, but I think it will look goofy with my 265 tires that are pretty new.

If you are wondering how goofy 265's look with a Body lift, I'll tell you. Goofy as Hell !!! Here's mine when i still had my 265's. They were brand new too. Looked like skateboard wheels on there.




And then the 315's. Aaaah. Much better.

YUP!! That's what I figured. The picture from the back is really goofy lol, definitely need some wider tires. I figure, that with my new suspension and tires and being done with school next spring, everything will last plenty long, and when the tires go, I will actually have money, and be able to throw on a lift kit and some bigger tires, and probably a rebuilt long block with cams since I'll be pushing 200k.

Mine is on spacers and it doesn't look to bad. Think I'll wait till my tires come in before I do the lift so I can do it all at once and not look ridiculous. That does look very funny Lane.

Yea tiny tires do look funny when you put a lift on and not get bigger tires. This is what mine looked like with 9in. of lift w/ 315/75/16

just do yourself a favor before you start wash the undercarriage and spray all the bolts with PBblaster a few times before you begin.... you will thank me for that advise... and do not remove both sides of body bolts... loosen one side and remove the other,.... if you remove all of them it is going to be a PITA to align the holes again.... trust me been there done that... have helped do over 15 body lifts... learn from mistakes quick...lol

Just to be sure again, 37's should fit ok with a bit of trimming right?
