has anyone put a 3" body lift on their luv? does it look good? i have a guy in lake havasu that says he can build a suspension lift for 3k and i don't think i want to drop that much cabbage.

if you would be able to post pictures of your truck with 3" body lift i would much appreciate it.
thnx

oh and what size rims do you have with the 3" body lift? do your tires rub?

This is right after I put mine on, I hadn't filled up the cheapo air shocks yet so it's a little ass-heavy. But I'm running 31's in this pic with no rub. But I did have to trim and inch or two of fender-well behind and in front of the tire for clearance.

Hey nnice to have someone else here in the Grand Canyon state, I also have a 3" body lift on mine, i'm running 215R70's on 15x6 rims and they rub a tiny amount during full lock with the suspension compressed, but other wise not at all, haven't trimed my fenders yet though. may be awhile befor i get pics though, since my trucks at home and i'm here in Prescott.

I have a 2 inch lift on my Luv and have a question on bumpers.
I replaced the front stock bumper and the truck I got it off, had a lift, so
they had a metal plate on both sides with 2 holes that bolted to the frame, and then two holes above those that bolted to the bracket on the bumper.
Thats a pretty easier way to lift the front bumper.

How about going about the rear bumper? I'm buying a pipe bumper soon, but I think it wont be much differnent as far as mounting goes.

pretty much the same as the front, having to make mounts, but for my rear bumper i'm going to switch it so that it mounts on top of the frame rail instead of underneath.

I'll have to wait awhile as my truck just went into the shop today, most likely won't be seeing it for a week or two. I'm still looking at how i'm going to do it, but when i do i'll post some pics for y'all. I really dont think it's that difficult, looks like i just need to drill a couple of holes and add some bolts to make the whole mess work.
