Ask away

 

going to have a 2-2.5 body lift installed while my frame is being replaced on my 2004 dblcab do I need to get any extensions ? also any good links to some good sites for them? im new to all this thnx

 

Can i ask why you want a body lift?

 

planing on future lift and the truck will be off the frame so im getting it done while its free labor, will be getting a susp lift as well when I can

 

I dunno maybe its a waste of time as from what I am seeing lift kits actually look cheep for a basic one I only plan on doing 32-or 33's if I do a basic in the front is a rear ad leaf needed and a side note I wont be doing any hardcore offroading if that matters on my choice

 

I bought my truck with a 3" body lift and 2" spacer leveling kit and blocks in the rear. It looked like shit and rode like shit. I removed the body lift and spacer lift and installed 3" coilovers in the front and 3" springs in the back.

Taking the body lift off was a pain in the ass, cant imagine having to install one.

If you want something cheap look into some Bilstien 5100 adjustable shocks for the front. You can preset them to 2" and they will work with your stock coils. Then just get an add a leaf for the rear and you'll be able to fit 33s with a little bit of trimming in the front.

Or you could get some front coils from Eibach or OME and get a better ride. Check the link below

Ditch the body lift, just get a suspension lift put in, you get a free alignment with the new frame

 

Body lifts suck...... I had a 3 inch one on and it rode like shit, looked like shit, but it did hold to being rolled. As far as extensions go all your "quality" kits should come with them. You'll need extensions for radiator, bumpers, steering, fuel lines, 4wd shifter if you have one,

 

Free labor or not, any money spent on a body lift is money pissed away. You'll just be taking it off later. If you just need an AAL or a trim spacer for a lean, that's one thing, but body lifts are cheap for a reason.

 

I have an 04 D-cab and put a 3" suspension lift on it, along with LT265/75R16 tires on it. I didn't remove the mud flaps, so my tires still rubbed on them. I added a 1" 4crawler body lift to take care of any rubbing. It came with the front bumper brackets, and I added the radiator drop and the fuel filler spacer to the body lift. I didn't need any other extensions and left the rear bumper as it was. I haven't had any issues with the body lift and am not worried about it. I wheel my truck fairly hard (as I can without full body armor).
