    Re: Body lifts...how hard are they to put in?

    Anyway, yep easy as. A couple of points to watch for, as mentioned remove all rubber between chassis and body..
    Secondly, and the biggest... Watch the brake lines from cab to chassis... They are a coil, but still can kink...
    Also if you have rear stabilizer release you will need to remove the front bracket securing it to your chassis, to allow it to move up, its a solid cable so don't bother trying to bend it or move it...

    You will also need to do longer brake lines from body to axles and also your rear brake bias will need an adapter plate now your getting that high, otherwise you will have no rear brakes..

    Stock bolts are a M10 fine thread, 100mm long.
    I went m12 fine thread, 120 long for my 1" lift, so you'll need 140mm long
    Make sure you get zinc coated bolts..
