Question 3"body lift installation

Any tips on installing a 3" body lift on a 2001 supercrew, without taking it to a shop.

Cool

Jack the cab as a unit and the bed last. Ya gotta remember that the cab overhangs the bed, so when you jack on either side, the opposite side WILL contact the bed. You therefore have to jack the cab evenly on both sides and then do the bed evenly on both sides. Takes longer, but doing it another way will result in body/paint damage.

I think I can help you. A set of instructions of a 3" body lift for a supercab would help, hum? Well, I have those in file and I can e-mail them if you want so can judge by yourself how much its involved. Let me know.
