I know I said it before...but why would you want to loose ride quality and do a 2" suspension and 1" body lift.

The bumpers don't look right with a 1" body lift.

Why not do a 3" body, your bumpers will look perfect, and you will maintain ride quality. And if your looking to fit 33's...enough said, you'll want the extra height of the 3" body lift and the POSSIBILITY to crank your bars and gain an extra inch or two.

Sorry for clogging up the thread, and I appologize if I'm seeming redundant, I just don't see why everyone wants a 1" body lift and 2" suspension...IMO that way bumpers have that gap...looks like crap, and your loosing ride quality by cranking the torsion bars...why?

 

because it's cheap to do?

Looks great, but I agree on the bumper! get one like zabeard or put the stock valance back on! make it clean lookin..

 

It's free

I'm saying why crank them if you don't have to...

I think 3" body with bars cranked and maybe AAL is perfect...but I always am looking for more height...

 

well anywho here are some more pics




heres a nice pic
johns truck 1" bl
my truck 1"bl tbar crank and drop shackles
scotts 3" max tbar crank and drop shackles
and thats right nicks truck is behind scotts lol. i think he just has a tbar crank

 

Nice! cant wait to get down there to meet you guys... Hopefully sometime soon...

 

What about the bumper mod?? Not throwing mud back here, i am asking because i dont know...

 

scott come out next week end if we do nicks and we can just do your too. if i can make it.

 

What else is on the to-do list.. i might be able to make it a day trip...

 

I don't believe the bumper mod picks up enough slack, so to speak.

I like my bumper as high as it can go, from the pics, you can see the middle truck, the bumper has a nice approx. 1" gap. I can't stand that, if it were my truck, it would really bother me. The rear also, can't raise the rear bumper enough (if at all, w/o the PA brackets).

The bumpers get me the most.

There are a few good posts on how much the "bumper mod" actually gets yoou, I'm digging up now. :)

i just havn't done my bumpers yet just havn't had time

 

I never understood the 1"bl either. The 3" looks good. I vote for some 35's too.

 

put your bumper on! truck looks broken like that!

Otherwise nice work. i liked it both ways with the 1" and now the 3"

 

what happend to your fleet side? anyways the truck looks great

 

looks way better now with the 3" on. good job!

 

same here i think you might as well put a 3 inch on while you got it apart lokks good by the way

 

i took my fleetside back. lol. and a one inch gives you just enough lift. it makes it look better and still functional as a truck. i cut grass on the side so it would be a bit harder to get a mower in and out by myself with a 3" bl and im happy with my 1"

 

ya'll hatin' on the 1"...come on now. reason i did it, wanted just a little more clearence off the body for the 32's.....and I HATE BODYLIFTS....now look at me, double lifted w/ the 3" body.




Scotty.....great lookin' man. now....even more so wishing i went with that red edge FLEETSIDE. The DSG looks great! Where'd you get that idea? The new F150's.?

 

Yup some of the new F150's have the headlight mod done to them with dsg! Next plan i suppose will be to get a set of south american headlights n do the headlight mod 2 it! haha

 

Also thanks for all the complaments guys i bought the 1in when i was low on cash just for the little extra lift. U can do the bumper mod on the front of the truck to adjust it to stock height but the rear bumper u'll need a gap gaurd. But thanks again everyone!

 

Haha yup next week is going to end up being a modding meet again. Were doin another 3in body lift on Nicks truck so you should come on down. **** we could get the 1in on yours in no time! I yet need to mod my hitch n tow hooks, so that i don't have to have the hitch hang 3in's lower then the bumper, and so i don't have to notch my valance

 

Looks great.

 

The lift looks good. Nice corners too.

 

looks great. new tires and bumper it will look 10x better.

 

Well heres some better pics with the body lift now

 

Nice truck.. brings back memories of my old 98 :)
