Body Lift

[eheller]

Can anyone give me suggestions on body lift kit brands for my 2002 f150?

Performance Accessories 3" or 2". 2" BL won't show as much frame, but if you have running boards, it will cover it nicely for the 3" BL. I would go for the 3". That's what I have. I have many friends with the 3" BL as well, they look good. RCD used to make body lifts, I dunno if they make it for your 02, but PA definitely does

I called 4 wheel parts afew days ago and asked them abut putting a 3" body lift on my 07 F150, they said they charged $1000 for labor only, and $450 for the parts. THey said they would do a free install of a lift kit before they did a Body lift. The guy I talked to said it takes a week to install and the guys in the shop hated doing them. I didnt think they were that hard from what some of the members on here have said about it.

mine was 850 for install... I was gone when they did it to my truck, but apparently the sheared off the stock body bolts bc there was so much locktight on there. Also, at least for mine, there were a bunch of extra brackets that took them a lot longer to put on. To be honest, I would buy a 6" suspension lift and install it myself (after Ive worked on suspension systems now, Ive found that its actually not that bad to install one yourself). But you could get a Pro Comp lift and have them install it for free (which all FourWheelParts will do). That will cost you about 200 bucks more than what you're talking about doing now. Honestly, I've been considering taking my body lift off and putting a 6" suspension lift on. I find myself wanting more clearance without being a monster truck sitting at 9" or higher with a body lift and suspension. I like other trucks at that height, I just wouldnt want mine that high. Just some food for thought

I got a 3" Performance Accessories Body lift. I simply could not afford a suspension lift. At the time they were suspension lifts were $1500-1800.00 vs $150.00 for a body lift. I installed it myself in my driveway. I am glad I did get it though. My intercooler pipes are 3 inches in diameter and they fit nicely between the rad and the frame.
