14 years ago and highschoolers still doing it today to the exact same trucks. Great video. Forgot to mention to return the hammer to the kitchen when your done
This video is actually very helpful! I have a 4.5 in suspension lift on my '08 Ram, but I've been thinking about cranking it up a little more in a low cost manor. Thanks to this, I might just do another 2 inches all body, by myself :)
I have a 4 inch body lift , I got it so I could comfortably fit bigger tires on my ranger , also bought 1 and a half inch lift suspension all the way around so now I got a better grip and foot print with radius of the tires and I have quite a bit more clearance . Body lift ftw
so, 4 was ok, have a 04 ram 1500 with fabtech 6" full suspension lift, still I WANT 4 more , glad to hear another has 4 thnx , ps my first amature ama assigned number way back in 1979 KX 125 was 57 , :)
This is THE best video I've seen on youtube, much respect, kept me laughing and truck looks good man. I'm about to do a 3'' body lift on a 92 f150, hope it turns out as good as yours and is as much fun
this vid helped me completely understand body lifts. i assume it would be the same for most other trucks? not quite sure why he took the bumpers off tho...
I installed this same kit (Performance Accessories) on my Chevy Silverado...Looks great as an end result, but beware everybody...rusty bolts are not your friend!
Scientisits have proven that by lifting the body of your truck, even only two inches creates a difference on what you can clear in the dirt. plus your truck will look tougher. some of the comments on here smh. get what ever you want and mod it how you want, no one gives a sh1t what anyone else says.
what kind of receiver hitch do you have to install, the hitch i have now mounts to the frame and bumper. if i move them apart from one and other i don't believe it will work. it looks like the frame tube will sit down to far from the bumper. any suggestions. would have any pics of the back bumper with a hitch installed on it. thanks
nice trucks you guys got there i was wonderin can i do a 3 inch suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift on my ram without havin to change anything like brake lines driveshafts er anything like that?
i'm about to put a body kit on my 2000 z71 and i was wondering if you can use blocks and also use torsion keys to raise the front a couple more inches.
I have a question. Did the exhaust pipe not stay in the same place? I plan to body lift my dodge and install new exhaust. Should I wait to install exhaust until after the lift is done?
@frogaliscious i am somewhat new to this and just wondering why does the bumper have to come off and be cut? if its part of the body isnt it going to lift with everything else? or is it attached to the frame> ive got a 94 ram 1500 and wanting to do a 2" lift
Great video man. Im looking at putting a 2 or 3 in body lift on my bronco II. On the bumper lift, why did you have to cut that frame for the brackets? Also... "Holy Tornado Jesus" Hahaha
I have a question since my truck already has a side-pipe system exhaust installed, will lifting the body affect the distance from the body to the tips? truth be told i have never looked underneath the truck to see if the exhaust mounts to the body or to the frame, so if i get a 3" body lift will that mean the exhaust tips are 3" further away from the body?
some kits come with mounting relocation mounts the only problem I've had on my truck an f150 is that my rear relocation plate has bent from weight of people being on it so I think I'm going to have to beef up the plate
Body lifts are for people who don't have the money or for the posers who jack their trucks up so they look cool drivin down the road. I agree with with you that suspension lifts are much better.
Body lifts eliminate the wear and tear that suspension lifts do if you dont upgrade the suspension along with. If ypu have a truck that already has a good ground clearance at stock suspension height, and just need the body to clear some bigger tires and rims, body lift is the right way to go for the money.
I broke one of the bolts on the cab body mount the front one by the passenger door, the bottom part of the bushing and broken bolt came off but the bolt is broken in the threads, where does that bolt go into to fasten is that something i can lift and remove or do i need to get a tap, to help clear that up is there a weld nut welded to the body that that bolt goes in or does the bushing have the nut inside it?
Yes, your not an official "Sparky" until you've gotten grinding and welding sparks down your pants, starting at the belt, and the hot spark works it's way down to your boots, where it sits on your sock, burning, and you can't get your boot off in time... Oh, and of course the spark that makes it past the safety goggles and sits on your retina... ouch...
I have a 1990 montero stock and i want to build it to be a trail rider. should i get a body lift or a suspension lift kit. also i neew a little wider tires and want more suspension movement for the trails and i want wider tires. Can anyone help me?
is that truck 4x4 ? I want to put one on my 03 RAM 1500 4x4. but all Performance Accessories 3.0in body lift kits I see out there are for RWD rams only. Can I use it on my 4x4 or are they totally different? Can Someone please help?
Jesus Salazar you can't do a 6" body lift.. any more that 3 is pushing it. it'll pull shit way out of alignment. steering wheel, any floor levers, etc.
And any higher is also stupid. Actually, I wouldn't go more than 1.5". Should really just be used as a little more oomph to clear a tire. 3" is pushing it enough already.
wow man I installed a 5.5 in susp lift into my 04 ram 1500 and it was way easier than this.... but guess what.. its not big enough for me so now i have to bite the bullet and do the body lift as well.... shit

thank you for the great tutorial, thinking about a body lift now instead of a suspension lift on my 98 F150 4x4!
this vid helped me completely understand body lifts. i assume it would be the same for most other trucks? not quite sure why he took the bumpers off tho...
That commentary was funny as shit haha. I loved it
And the mounts could effect the ride quality if you were replacing the rubber with something stiffer like poly but not in this situation.
I installed this same kit (Performance Accessories) on my Chevy Silverado...Looks great as an end result, but beware everybody...rusty bolts are not your friend!
rightly said sir, however PB blaster sure is ha, thank YOU
Funny thing is, is that I plan on leveling my Ram. Just kinda afraid of what it would look like pulling my trailer. Ram nose to the sky?

can you do a body lift and a suspension lift also?
by the way, nice video, if i do the torsion bar lift, i that a good thing to do?
what kind of receiver hitch do you have to install, the hitch i have now mounts to the frame and bumper. if i move them apart from one and other i don't believe it will work. it looks like the frame tube will sit down to far from the bumper. any suggestions. would have any pics of the back bumper with a hitch installed on it. thanks
Hey buddy can you explain why you cut the bumper and frame this is all new to me and could use some help
nice trucks you guys got there i was wonderin can i do a 3 inch suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift on my ram without havin to change anything like brake lines driveshafts er anything like that?
just wonderin but does the technique of installation differ from size like 3inch an 6 inch have diff ways to be put on?
i'm about to put a body kit on my 2000 z71 and i was wondering if you can use blocks and also use torsion keys to raise the front a couple more inches.
You have to disconnect all those engine wires and hoses and stuff to do a body lift? :s
cheech marin @ 3:30!
Trey Morrow yup lmao
for doing the el cheapo body lift (hockey pucks) do you have to have the metal blocks for the truck bed?
I have a question. Did the exhaust pipe not stay in the same place? I plan to body lift my dodge and install new exhaust. Should I wait to install exhaust until after the lift is done?
is it a 2 or 3 inch kit i heard you have to do alot more mods for the 3inch kit
@frogaliscious i am somewhat new to this and just wondering why does the bumper have to come off and be cut? if its part of the body isnt it going to lift with everything else? or is it attached to the frame> ive got a 94 ram 1500 and wanting to do a 2" lift
i like how he does the mexican accent
that's not a Mexican accent I don't think. it sounded like the guy from the movie called The Life Of Pi
Great video man. Im looking at putting a 2 or 3 in body lift on my bronco II. On the bumper lift, why did you have to cut that frame for the brackets?
Also... "Holy Tornado Jesus" Hahaha

wanting to do a body lift on mine. already have suspension lift. just a bit afraid of the bumper mods needed.
some kits come with mounting relocation mounts the only problem I've had on my truck an f150 is that my rear relocation plate has bent from weight of people being on it so I think I'm going to have to beef up the plate
with the body lift kits is it gonna affect the mounting of a front grill guard with my be slighty lower?
4:26 - 4:34 thats what she said.
anyways good job man! very educational! plus not boring so i could stand to watch it!
bubba cletus and skreetch. well aint that just wonderful.

Is this at all similar to a 01 Dodge Dakota
HEY CAN I DO THIS WITH MY 95 CROWN VICTORIA 3 INCH BODY LIFT BECAUSE IM TRYING TO FIT 26 INCH RIMS I REALLY NEED TO KNOW........
HOLY tornado jesus, you have the perfect country music voice
Very well planed video. Educational . Well explained. Thank you sir. But I'm just going to hire someone to do mine. A finger smasher for sure!
i put a 3" suspension lift on my truck cause i dont like the way a body lift looks. but its probable cheaper.
Body lifts are for people who don't have the money or for the posers who jack their trucks up so they look cool drivin down the road. I agree with with you that suspension lifts are much better.

Cool. But, how smooth is your ride after the body lift kit?
Real nice video,very informative.where abouts in pennsylvainia are you at?
The two last blocks on the driver side bed do they have bolts in them?
Because bumpers mount to frame not body
exhaust is attached to the frame...as is the engine. Has nothing to do with your body lift
I broke one of the bolts on the cab body mount the front one by the passenger door, the bottom part of the bushing and broken bolt came off but the bolt is broken in the threads, where does that bolt go into to fasten is that something i can lift and remove or do i need to get a tap, to help clear that up is there a weld nut welded to the body that that bolt goes in or does the bushing have the nut inside it?
This video has helped me a lot

i hate when that happens
How many inches was that and what size tires?
Good video! I enjoyed the humor.
Did you use the stock suspension? was there a ride diff?
are the gap guards worth it to your?
what size lift do you put in? and did you have to extend the brake lines or anything?
I have a 1990 montero stock and i want to build it to be a trail rider. should i get a body lift or a suspension lift kit. also i neew a little wider tires and want more suspension movement for the trails and i want wider tires. Can anyone help me?

Jesus Salazar you can't do a 6" body lift..
any more that 3 is pushing it.
it'll pull shit way out of alignment. steering wheel, any floor levers, etc.
Dave Erler Thanks for the advice. Gotta do it the proper way.
Jesus Salazar 3 is as high as you can go any higher is illegal
And any higher is also stupid. Actually, I wouldn't go more than 1.5". Should really just be used as a little more oomph to clear a tire. 3" is pushing it enough already.
