I sincerely hope you're serious. I'd love to see this done and even better with a write-up.

I am dead serious!

That looks AMAZING!!!! What can you tell me about how to do this? Which kit, and what are some things you ran into that were problematic?

I WANT THIS!

Thanks, it really was pretty much bolt on. the biggest issue I had was getting long enough bolts with the right thread pitch and such. other than that alls I had to do was weld some brackets for the rear bumper to go back up to where it belongs and I notched the front one to move it up. It is a Performance Accessories 3" body lift for a 2004 f150.

Do you have a list of which bolts you used and the length?

Hey my XP has been body lifted , only thing I extended was positive battery cable, has adjustable pedals no problems steering is a lil stiff but looking to source a steering shaft extension out of f150 lift harder then u think. Used all m12 X1.75x200 grade 10 bolts had to replace a few nuts and cut into the body to get at them nothing major , truck has seen a lot of mud so u might not have that problem. will happily answer any more question you have

Sure thing, I got (6) 12mmx200mm thread pitch 1.75 and (4) 10mmx200mm thread pitch 1.5. And for the shift linkage extension I got (2) 5/16s bolts

In order to do a body lift on a stock 06 expy should you do a leveling kit first?
