    ok i heard today that you can do a body lift using solid pvc pipe. i was just wondering if anyone else has heard this or done it. it seems like it would work because the body spacer that come in the kit are made from hard plastic so i dont see why it wouldnt work.

    The words "cheap" and "lift" do not go well together.

    The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten.
