ok guys i'm about to order my body lift... problem is they don't have an 02 3 inch body lift listed......they have an 00 shouldn't the body mounts be the same? please reply ASAP thanks!

 

There is a PA B/L for 01 and up. Call 4WP and they will hook you up.

 

k i will but is there any diffrence from the 00 and the 02 body mounts

 

no the 93-05 are the same

 

I have no idea. I think the kits are different.

 

the only difference is the kit for the bumpers to be raised

 

hmmmmm
............so ur saying the only diffrence is how the bumper is raised?

 

yep becuase the front frame is a little drifferent on the 93-97 but i do believe that the 99-05 are the same

 

k good it's ordered and will be installed at the meet here this weekend :) we'll see how it goes lol i might be driveing back with the bumpers 3 inch's lower than the body lol

 

how much work is involved with a body lift?

i've always heard it was a pain

 

it's only a pain if you do it by your self....thats why i worked my *** off to get it for this meet so i'd have some willing help.....the hardest part i'v heard/Done on a friends truck....is the front the bed is cake...but we gotta get to the body mounts that are inside the truck under the carpet so that'll be a little pain in the *** but not to bad

 

how about frame showing? i know that i've seen older rangers and chevy's body lifted and they show mad frame underneath...a definate eyesore. is that gonna show?

 

tou can get around the frame showing becuase your raising the body 3" above the frame, the motor will now be 3" in the engine bay, and putting some step bars on will hel not see it as much and gap gaurds in the wheel wells.

 

well i plan on doing gap guards i'm not sure about step bars yet..but i'm going to get gap guards or make some.. i'v got an idea to make it look like it's thwe frame instead of haveing a gap by tack welding sheets of metal to the bed "like where the gap guards would go" and then rhino lineing the hole fender and the sheet thats covering the gap

 

Frame will show, but not too much, mine wasn't too bad, but I got gap guards. You can make some out of rubber and it will be good. The hardest we had were the front cab bolts. The cab bolts were easy, just pull the carpet up. The front bolts were the hard one's, I had to drill the bushing out to fit the bolt.
The stepbars should be fine, they are connected to the cab and will be raised with the body.

 

i'm also thinking of makeing some guards out of rubber like you said lol...but where would i go about getting some ?
