Body lift info. request?

campo141 · #1 10-21-2009, 09:22 PM

Can someone post a picture of their truck from the back that has a 3" body lift or a link to a picture. I want to order this soon but really want to see how nasty the hitch receiver looks first since it will be lower than the body....Thanks!

P.S. I have an 02 screw, so same body style would be nice, but sure they will all give me some idea.

You can always take the hitch off. Thats what I am planning on doing this weekend.

another option is have an exhaust shop move the hitch up 3" to help hide the body lift. it wont look bad but it will be noticeable. if you don't tow just pull it off, if you do and the gap bothers you have it raised.

if you use your hitch then you need to have some serious brackets made to move it up otherwise it will loose its integrity to tow.

I say take the hitch off, I like the look of no hitch, its cleans the rear of your truck.

Thanks IORf150...Your truck looks sharp man. I do some towing from time to time. I guess one day while I am at work I could cut the hitch and weld new tube to raise it. I am ordering the performance accessories 3" lift this weekend ($225) can't pass on that! Is it a fairly easy install?

The supercab kit and the screw kit are the same. I still have the extra 2 lift blocks,bolts ,washers and all that sitting in my room.

Amazon has them to fit OP's truck for $175 shipped to the door.

Thanks man! Install isn't really hard, its just time consuming. I payed my mechanic to do mine. Took them about a day and a half.
