ok so i got an oppertunity to make some extra cash, friend of mine is out of town and said he would pay me a $130 bucks to do some maitence to his place , so lets talk body lifts. ok now i think im going with a 1 or 2 inch body lift need advice an opinions. what brand? next what else would i need? brake line extention? steering extention?

Performance Accessories. Or summit I think makes the same thing.

Don't come in 1", just 2-3"

that's where my body lift knowledge stops. make or get gap guards though

I personally do not like body lifts that much, however

If I were to do one, I'd buy a good one. I like the Zone kit. They make some good products. I recommend them personally. Only problem is you can only get a 3inch. And with your 6inch, it might look odd with 35's now. But I don't think it would look terrible either.

When I had my 99' Ford F150 I had a 6" suspension and 3" Body, w/ 38-14.50-16 toyo m/t's, it was sick!!! Honestly should have never sold it, the only problem I came a across was that my additional trans cooler hose eventually wore a hole in it because of rubbing. Biggest thing is IMO make sure no hoses rub (look at everything) I mistakenly missed that one, get gap guards and make sure to paint the frame, (Chevys show major frame) when body lifted.

i Know this isnt a ford forum but here was mine. other thing is either make or install Bumper extensions, mine was pretty clean and 95% of the people didnt know it had a Body Lift. By the Way Im 6' 6" and have a 36-38" inseam. This was the biggest F150 in WA state that the time.

install the add a leafs first and decide from there.

only reason im thinking of not cranking the keys and doing the body lift that much is look at my angles they are almost negative lol so a little cranking will be nessacary but it rides sooooooooooo good

 

[LittlePearl13]

Can't ride that good if it's scrubbing as badly as you said it was. Just something to think about.

 

[bowtiefreak]

crank it up, 1-1.5" and you'll be fine and not have a bad ride. What height are the fenders sitting at right now?
