I was wondering on my 84 what problems id get from a a 3 in body lift. I know about the bumper gap and steering extension Anyhting else. ALso why do they always stress not mixing body and suspension lifts. Any help would be great.

Well the problems that can exist are wiring if not long enougth, brakes lines and there mounting locations. The fan cover also needs to be trimmed to accomindate this extra body lift also the shifting mechanisms needed lengthened or changed ever so slightly.

body lift + suspension lift = really high COG and LOTS of stress on the body mount bolts

Get you a suspension lift and be done with it! BL's look like crap!!

2" and there is nothing to do but the steering extension and reposition the fan shroud and bumpers. For the front bumper I flipped the mount and lenghtened the mounting holes. For the rear I left it alone because changes are coming and I didnt give a shit.

Where else can you get 2" of tire clearence for $80? Other than the Fun-Zall.

so what ya saying mike huh huh huh huh huh huh huh :goodfinge :boxing :toothless

Just trying to help a brotha out. I think the look like crap cause the frame showing too much and that big ugly gap. Plus if he wheels alot then that BL is going to cause that body to flex more and get those nice stress cracks. Just my .02

Oh and :goodfinge right back atcha :thehand :toothless

 

[gearrat]

yea i now but if he is on a budget it is a fast lift that he can remove later on if he wishes.. besides i like mine :rockon :wacko :toothless

 

[DerrickRaynes]

I cut my wheel wells already. Thanks for all the help
