Alright guys i just ordered my body lift for my Level 2 . Im just curious if theres anything I need to know before I do the install? any tips or tricks? Maybe something I should watch out for?
More than likely Im going to be doing the install by myself, is that possible?
I'm going to start on mine next weekend, and the only tips that I've gotten so far is make sure heat the cab bolts when removing them, and find a good friend who doesn't mind giving up a saturday afternoon to help. Other than that, just make sure that you get everything lined up good before you snug it down.
Wow, when I started reading this, I was thinking "haven't I read this before a few weeks ago?" Then it hit me, I did!!
This has been beaten like a dead horse my friend. It's been discussed and covered many many many times.

i asked for tips when i did mine too, biggest tip i got was follow the instructions. although i didn't end up doing mine myself, if i had help i could have, the instructions are very good, do everything they say!
Take a look at HozII's profile. Look at the threads he's created. There's a thread that I personally put the most info i've ever put in a thread regarding a bodylift. check it out.
Doing the lift is very easy. BUT, is very time consuming. ALOT of the drops and extentions they send you you really dont even need to use. Mostly it'sjust making sure things have slack while doing the lift, then when the blocks are in, most those things get connection again.
I'll search for that thread and post it up for ya.
