thanks for the input everybody

im gunna give the local shop a call tmr and get a quote. i would love to do it myself but im not mechanically inclined watsoever



your truck looks great,

can we get some specs on your setup
and more pics if u got any

Where did u get it for $200

cheapest i found was ebay for $300

 

I always heard that a body lift isnt that hard to install. Just simple hand tools needed. It may be aggravating but if no special tools or knowllege is needed, I could never see paying $900 for something like that.

Since your truck is a pavement queen, you would be fine going with a 3" body lift and some 35s. Forget about the 37s for a bunch of reasons. Not the least of which is your front suspension / CVs won't like that much added stress...

Go with some 35s and call it good...

If you were actually going to use it off road, or want to add a winch, do any towing, or add a brush guard, you will want to stay as far away from a body lift as you can... The winch mounts, trailer hitches, and brush guards are all designed to work with the body being in proper (see O.E.) orientation to the frame...

 

thanks for the pics, looks great

how do u like those mazzi hulks

i m thinkin them in the 20x10

with 35/12.5R20 toyo mts

just have to sell my current rims and tires meow


Im pretty much sold on doing a body lift b/c i just called my local shop and they quoted me $200 for the install

could be good meaning the price is dirt cheap

could be bad because at that price im assuming they never did a NBS F-150

 

Yes I do but they are stuffed in there. I saw 1 person that had 37's with just a leveling kit but that was REAL tight. Thanks for the compliment!

 

I do not recommend mazzi hulks -- the chrome finish is very thin - the finish is already coming off in spots ... i am very disappointed with them

 

o man thanks for the heads up

i ll have to take a look into those look a-likes

eagle alloy 164
or
ultra makos

 

well the body lift is going on wed or thur

i went with the 3in bds body lift

and im keeping my rims and puttin

35/12.5R20 Toyo Mt's on

im thinking of going that route with my truck

 

yes sir

 

thanks

 

Quick question:

does anyone kno if i can put a 2wd lower valance on to cover frame through towhook holes on the 4wd valance.

i dont see y not, if anything i ll just have to "mold" it a bit to work

 

The 04-05 2wd valance has recesses where the 4x4's have holes. Being recessed it will not work. You could put an 06-up valance, they are smooth, but they don't line up on 04-05 bumpers without trimming.

 

hey thanks for the info stealth

do u know about how much trimming is involved. just wondering if i can actually do it, or better off leaving it as is
