body lift adj. pedal issues

What is the problem with installing a body lift on an Expy with the adjustable pedals?
Is there a work around?
I think when I searched I saw some Newer Eddie Bauer's with Body lifts, so is the a solution?

Anyone want to take a stab at this one? Anyone? Okay, the short version. Adjustable pedals only affect the distance of the pedals to the driver. They do not have any effect on the hydraulic lines. So in other words a body lift should not be a problem concerning the pedals. You do however need to be concerned about how the truck handles. Also if you have the LLS, the body lift may not be a option.

Instead, why don't you just put a gun rack in the rear side window along with some mud flaps that say "back off", a CB antenna and oh yeah a brush guard for the front bumper and you can achieve red-neck status with out the body lift. Just a thought

mhmcgill: man, that was a little stiff for a question about a body lift.

tysonxj: a friend of mine tried his and had problem with lines and wiring harness', etc. so he just put everything back and did what he wanted to do with a suspension lift and a custom bag kit.
if you do it, you are of course obligated to do the following:
1. detailed write up
2. pics
3. post it

god luck and later

#1. Thank you for your concern on how my truck handles.
#2. I prefer to keep my firearms concealed.
#3. My driving style keeps people from getting too close.
#4. CB antenna's help the CB work much better.
#5. Brushgaurds are pretty helpful if you use your vehicle for more than a glorified station wagon to cruise the mall with.

Hope someone with firsthand knowledge can help me out...

I was only having a little fun. Nobody had responded to the thread, so Mr. Andrews relax. BTW the red-neck characterization apparently was not that far off.
