Frequently Asked Questions:



Q- were the pics you posted of a stock height with JUST the BL or was there anything else on there with it?

A-Below this post there are multiple photos of vehicles with varying lifts, feel free to compare to what you are wanting for your own truck.



Q- How much time does it take to manufacture and you drop off in the mail?

A- I make all lift kits on Saturday, If i dont have many orders and plenty of time, shipping will be Saturday or Monday. So plan ahead and order accordingly.



Q- Is this a complete straight forward kit? anything else required on my part? or is everything there?

A- Yes, Most of the vehicles that purchase my lift kits do not have factory bumpers, If yours does, then a gap will be present depending on the size of lift you purchase. I describe what hardware and holes need to drilled in order to raise the bumper back up so that it once again looks like a lifted truck.



Q- Can i just throw this on my stock[ish] 4Runner with out issues.

A- Yes, works on stock or modified 4Eunners.



Q- Are they all going to be gray /purple i wouldn't mind something that stood out a little bit and wasn't the straight forward black any ways.

A- The color is black, not purple, gray or white. I make sure I order black.



Q- When they say BL's cause premature shock wear.... how "premature" are we talking..?

A- Actually ive never heard of that. With body lifts there is no added stress points that cause premature failure. There is only side effect to a body lift, that is it raises the center of gravity so your body sway might be more noticeable.



Q- Whats the largest lift I can fit on my 5 speed manual?

A- 1" with no problems, 1.5" with minor adjustment to shift boot, 2" with some body trimming. The problem with manuals is the shifter. As you raise the body, the cut out needs to get larger to let the movement of the shifter not contact the body.

It sure does make changing rear shocks easy! Going In between the body and the frame.

you got my attention

do you havea before/ after of your truck ??

I do but they are kinda bad pic. I installed it in the middle of a snow storm. So it's been snowing, wet and rainy outside. But here is what I have. I will update later.
I would also like your help if you buy it, to please post your pictures on here as well!






With a 1.5" it SHOULD give you enough room to flip your hitch and not have to cut into the bumper. this is only if you have the bolted on cross member.

This is what I will need for my 35's at some point.

Blue

I hate you....
Why couldn't you put these out 2 weeks ago?
Oh well, good luck with the sales.

is this just the 1.5 or the 1.5 stacked with a suspension lift

Yes I have about a 3" suspension on it. So I've got a 4.5" lift. I'm 6'2" and kinda have to jump to get in.

Sorry boss! What did you end up buying? I'd like to see it.

Yes I could easily fit 35s right now

I have the 1'' toytec, but the extra .5'' would be sweet.
Since the truck is already at my buddy's place getting bumpers built its too late now.

i understand your 1.5" is your goal right now to sell but when would you be unrolling the package group for 2/2.5/3" , or do u have an idea of a "quote" to make up a "special project set" lol

i could probably go higher, but it would be risky because i would have to do some more shopping for bolts to find the specific length bolts and what matched for the 1.5" threads at the bottom. i cant sell bolts that are too short or too long and the nuts wont tighten down all the way.

its just something ill have to look into when i have more time. but if i were to give a time range. maybe 2 weeks before i start something more. also i can only get the uhmw rod in certain lengths, so going up in size adds to cost for say a 3" spacer lift. also with that high i would also be unsure of moving the bumper up that high or if the radiator would come in contact with the fan.

so as you can see the higher we go the harder things get and more things come into play. but if more interest is shown, maybe i can start looking into is sooner.

do they have to be purple?
can you do black?

I haven't done much research into body lifts, but any way to have no gap above the front bumper (stock).

If you could upload the instructions or PM them to me to make sure i can do it, then that would be great. If its feasible i'll order!
