Ok guys for some reason i am having alot of trouble with my computer or this site.....idk what it is but the page keeps going blank everytime i search so i am sorry....i know there is a ton of talk on this... NOW TO MY QUESTION!

I am wanting to install a 2 or 3 inch body lift can anyone tell me what problems i will have?? steering wheel? radiator? wires? ect...?

What would be easyer? 2 inch or 3 inch? i want it to be as high as possible so i would rather have the 3 inch body lift.....

With the 3 inch body lift what problems will i have? can i just jack up the body put the blocks in and be done? or what do i got to do? cut hole? please just help me with this.

i found some where on this site a page that had all the upgrade you use to be able to do but i couldnt find it...like sunken antena,chop top,body lift, turbo, ect could anyone tell me where i saw that page at?

And again sorry for asking, its just i got my motor almost all the way done and i want to put the body lift on now and stuff.....thanks so much guys!

Mine was done when I got it. It appears to be a 2in. kit. The rad. is dropped down, the steering column was lowered, (looks like the hole was made oval, and a filler plate was put in to cover up the part of the hole that was not needed).
I think both shifter holes need to be cut bigger, and you'll need custom/larger shift boots for them.
The steering wheel sits much lower now, to where it was uncomfortable to get in and out of the truck. I installed a smaller Grant GT wheel.
Brake hoses come to mind. IDK if they would need to be made longer or not.
Sitting here thinking about, my front bumper must have brackets added to it or something, because it still sits right where my stock truck does.
If your spare tire is under the bed, it should still hang under there, but you will need to mess with it. Mine sits a little different than the way it is supposed to.

Good luck. I like my 2in lift. 3 might be too high IMO.
