93-94 and 95-97 body lift... um explain??? anyone??
ok PA has 2 kits a

93-94 PA-813

95-97 PA-853



both 3"... ok 813 has no rear bumper brackets... 853 has rear bumper brackets.. now i know for a fact the rear bumper mounts are the freaking same.. besides this.. i dont know why in hell it would be different.. anyone seen both kits?

most likely i will order the 853 even tho mine is a 94.. because no rear brackets i mean come on people....

Would it have something to do with the steering shaft extension since the dash is different?

I doubt it to, it was just a random "throwing out an idea" guess that the dash would cause it to be a different length for some reason.

also the front bumper bracket on the 93-94 looks like crap and it notes it only raises it 2-1/2 inches instead of 3" what crap is this...

looks like i will order the 95-97 push comes to shove i can buy 12x180 bolts at the fastener store...
