FS: 1/2" Bodylifts For 03-09

[nortex]

Not counting chasing the dog? About 2 hrs total. I did take my time and used hand tools. I didn't see a reason to use the air tools.

Air tools make life so much better!

Then again, I had new bolts all around, so yay!

Yeah, [MENTION=165]momo.75[/MENTION], it really is a simple install for you guys. The biggest challenge would be removing the windshield washer bottle. Other than that, 2 17mm sockets and go to town. It was tough for me because 1.25" is quite a distance to lift the body one mounting location at a time. It was easy overall though! My hands are useless right now after having to relocate the radiator mounts with my 1.25" kit. So many tight metal pointy places I crammed my hands into for 7 hours

I wasn't aware of having to move that. Are you guys going by some write up?

Yeah I found one on t120. It actually came with my kit. Just search for a BL install.

It wasn't super in depth anyway. I'll PM you my number to explain the steps if needed.

Ill post the one I used. Just skip the radiator and steering steps. Its really easy

Edit:I don't rub at all and have not done the fender mod after install

Thanks nortex and emelianenkov for the feedback. I was debating having it installed by a shop but I guess I will just give it a go myself. I have never done a BL and was a little worried BUT since I dont have to jack with steering and radiator issues, it really doesn't seem that bad. Can't wait to get it in...should be here this week! I think the biggest problem is my stock wheels and tires are going to look even sillier since I already have the DS 2.5/1.5 kit installed. Tires and wheels definitely need to come next!

No one was kind enough to measure the width of their body bushings...

It'll take 30 seconds to get the numbers to me.

I'll try and gran the measurements today or tomorrow when it stops snowing!

 

[nortex]

Duckn pm me and ill send me number over.

Lol thanks! Measure the furthest front mount and then a cabin mount. The front pucks are smaller in diameter

Good luck! Don't forget your before and after pics.

Also, they pucks go on top of the body mount and make contact with the physical body, not the frame, but I'm sure you guys know that

[MENTION=63211]emelianenkov[/MENTION] do you have any interest in making a 1 inch kit? Just thought i would ask. Could be another way for you to save us / make you some money.

If there is enough demand for it, I will order material! Get me a list of about 5 people who want them and I'll order 1" material

Do you have to mess with sterring and rad at 1"

Radiator should be fine, not sure about steering but there was some play still even with the 1.25" pucks I added before the steering spacer.

I know for damn sure I will not be making steering spacers and radiator drop brackets. I have no time or patience, plus I don't want to assume that risk/responsibility. A body lift spacer is simple, but the steering and radiator is too involved for me to make.

I've heard they are not needed for an inch body lift but some people use them just to be safe. Anyone know if that is correct? I think it is..

I'll make kits, but I don't want to assume any responsibility.

The toytec 1" kit comes with longer bolts and a steering spacer. I know my steering was ok with the 1.25" and no steering spacer.

Get the grade 8 bolts and I'll make the spacers if you want them. It'll be more than the $35 because it's expensive material
