| they r a cheap lift but the mounts on the cab will wear out in about 5-7 years(looking atthe long tearm) just make sure you get the fender covers and line extenders makes it look much mo better

| i personally love them. they are cheap, look good and last a while. my dads friend has been running a 3inch body lift for 20 yrs or so now on his 74 gmc. just remember when you add a body lift rplace the body mount bushings (aka cab mount bushings), they are fairly easy to install but are neccessay when installing on an older vehicle!

| Thanks for the info... I have a 2000 ranger and was thinking of adding a 3inch body to the already 5.5" suspension lift and maybe adding 33"s. For the gap i was either gonna get gap guards or wrap it in some black gardening material that would make it look solid. The bumper lift brackets come with the kit. How about the handling and drive of the truck? Would it remain factory as there advertising states? Also do they require any special maintenance? Are their safety issues? Would i need longer shocks or brake lines? Longer steering column? Thanks for any help.

| ok heres the deal it took me 6 hours to do it with a friend first of all follow the instructions extend your pieces under the hood like it says you may need to increase your shifter length if its a manual, but you can do that in the end if need be, (or do like me and just take the cupholder out), second impact sockets and a cutter depending on how old the bolts are you may have to cut some out it seems that only the front ones are really hard to get out but you will need some extensions too to reach the far front studs and you have to go through a little hole to reach em, second get a ruler and a piece of white paper and measure the distance between cab and bed before you start then make it the same when you put the blocks in, also measure the distance left and right of the bed to the cab so everything aligns, third mount the front bumper higher, leave the rear and buy the gap guards for the tail, (and the wheel well gaps if you deem so) i didnt, and last, Performance ACCESORIES makes a dam good body lift comes with everything but the gap guards which you can get too, there not expensive at all, go to ROCKY MOUNTAIN SUSPENSIOn.com thye will have it there and its worth it i love mine, if you need any more help let me know and ill tell you everything i can
