Body Lifts

I have a 1995 2wd F150 and thinkin about puttin a body lift on it. Does anyone know where i can get a body lift kit with the rear relocation bracket. almost all of them come with the front one, but nobody seems to have the rear bracket. Any help?

i dont think anyone makes a back relocation kit, i just took the brackets that i had, flipped them upside down, swapped sides, lined everything up drilled 1 new hole on the frame rail on either side... only took maybe 30 minutes to do...

to keep the factory ride yeah BL's work, i had to install mine after my lift springs settled and caused the tires to rub the fenders... me and one buddy had my entire BL on in less than 8 hours in my driveway...

heres what i did for the back brackets:

originally the brackets angled downward slightly... with a 3" B.L. the brackets work perfect almost parallel with the frame:





my bumper was almost perfectly level but is now angled slightly downward after backing into a tree

All good examples of why you should a suspension lift instead. Body lifts are a cheap way of doing what a properly designed suspension lift does.
