hey im goin with a body lift, but can i have new brackets made to mount my bull bar? will it look weird if i just left the bull bar in the same place? Also i noticed that your truck sits higher in the front, how did you do that? it looks pretty darn good.

It's an optical illusion. In my pics the front is actually lower. I just cranked up my torsion bars Sunday to help fit 35's and my truck is now almost perfectly level. As for the Bullbar, you will have to fabricate some brackets or it will look odd.

My drivers side is basically cranked up all the way. There may be 1/4 turn left in it. The passenger side still has a little thread showing on the bolt.

f150krsc03,

Im getting ready to purchase a bull bar like yours and I was just wanting to know if you have any side shots of your truck, so I can see how far the bull bar sticks out. Also, did you have to drill it to install the lights?

I saw where you were going with a body lift....if by chance you decide to remove the bull bar and sell it , please contact me at:

Your truck looks great by the way. Thanks for any help!

Two questions: how much about would it cost to get a 3" PA body lift installed; and if I were to get a leveling kit instead, would I need to move the grill guard at all?

Thanks in advance!

i know a body lift will cost much more to have it installed than the price of the kit. i dont think that you can get a leveling kit because i believe you have torsion bars like i do which you just crank to level it out and would not effect a bull bar

I agree. Also, I've read of quotes ranging from $100 to $800 to install a body lift, but $300 to $500 seems to be the average

yeah i am getting a 3" body lift added to my truck, and i called in to a local off road shop here in tallahassee, and they quoted me 500 for the install. I was curious because i am working so much right now i figured id drop it off to them plus they do it over night, but id rather save my 500 lol so im gonna do it with a buddy of mine that helped me lift my jeep last year.
