Considering....
Hey guys/gals,
I'm looking for some feedback. I'm considering pulling my Body Lift off of the truck. I've never been real happy with the way it fit my truck. I'm pretty sure that it was designed for the 98-00 Ranger's....
Before I do pull it, I wanna ask a few questions:
1.) How far do you have to crank the T-bars to fit 33's?
2.) If I pulled it, would anyone be interested in taking if off my hands?
3.) Any Kansas members wanna come help me pull it?

#2 so move it.. make brackets, get a temp gauge i bet its not having problems at all...
#3 thats for ALL BODY LIFTS have the problem you have 4 choices
- cut the valance to expose the hooks
- take off the valance
- make custom hooks easy enough to do
- deal with it...
dude just leave the body lift on and do double lift with 35's its worth it.. seen beards marks and bills enough its bad ***...

when you double lift and run 35's you're more than doubling your chances of ruining the truck...

then you've also got your radiator hoses, a/c hoses, battery cable's, wiring harnesses, gas filler hoses, bumpers,
all of those things had to be modified or adjusted to put the body lift on...
don't get me wrong, i love the BL but it puts too much undue stress on the truck. In hindsight i should have saved and got the SL to begin with...

if you want to whine about things getting moved after a superlift you have the whole lower control arms being dropped down causing "undue" stress on the front suspension. then there is the fact of lifting the rear end being either lift shackels which put the springs on more "undo" stress or lift blocks either way you are causing "undue" stress on the driveshaft u-joints by putting them at a more severe angle
to me this just seems like a whining about a body lift and not realizing there is "undue" stress as you put it on different parts of the truck when you do a superlift if you want to look at one angle lets attack it from all of it hell might as well put it back to stock dont want to hurt the truck....
