ok i looked a little bit to find out what you need to lift in the front with a body lift? i know the backs easy and i put my suspension lift on pretty easy but i hear you have to raise the raidator and some other things does it depend on the model? does Gen 3 have anything differnet the the 98-08?

thank

have to lower the radiator not raise. it comes with brackets for it and u haev to use the stock rubber thing for it as wel on the bottom. if your automatic the shift loop cable is a pain ot disconnect well at least on mine it was but a dremel fixed that lol i dn just read the instructions and it tells you what to disconnect

 

I was going to do mine but i need new body mounts first so check them since your truck is old line mine.

 

ok and i had another question if your suspension lift says its not recommended to put a body lift on why is that? what would happen if i did?

 

a body lift isnt recommended with a suspension lift?


If thats what your asking its probably because of the higher center or gravity. Like you get with any lift. Do it and it will be fine there are tons of people on here that have double lifted trucks and are fine.

 

ok thanks just wonderin

 

I didn't even need to lower my radiator, just rebolted it back up in the stock location after I body lifted, no kinks and everything fit fine.. I guess it's different with every truck though.

 

Yeah, he was pretty much right on the money for lifting your suspension lift with a body lift. Just a higher center of gravity. Unless you take sharp corners fast as hell you won't have a problem. You'll be fine double lifting.

 

Ive had no problem being double lifted

 

ok cool so it does lower the whole engine right? do u guys have any problems working on it? like under the hood

 

It lifts the body up off the frame so the engine is sunk in deeper. I heard it makes changing the spark plugs wayyy easier

 

lower the engine lol you mean raise the body engine doesnt move..

it actually easier to work on 95% of things now after a body lift..

 

spark plugs, cam sensor, o2 sensors all kinda things become so much more easy

 

ya thats what i ment ok just wondering i want to make sure i got everything straight before i get it how long did it take you to instal my suspensionlift took a day i started at 7 ended at midnight is it that long or longer?

 

Stone does them in like 5 hours, lol

 

5 hours if you have any mechanical experience sometimes less.. some guys 2 weeks so i hear

 

2 weeks lol wow ok well thanks guys
