3" bodylift on a 2000 F-350 with a 7.3?

[CrazyCajun]

anybody ever done this ? i bought one and I'm gonna go for it. I just put on a a 8" all spring lift and I bought this because to go higher than 8" I lose all the work I've done already shocks, brake lines etc. plus I haven't had to lenghthen my driveshfts yet another cost I can't swing right now. I know that poeple have done it,I was just trying to get the heads up on what to expect!!!
thanks for any help

For it to look cheap with gaps all around. There are a lot of good reasons not to lift the bed of a work truck.

You know, bodylifts on 1996 and up vehicles are not a good idea. For one thing, nothing has extra slack including the engine and computer harness, the brake lines, etc. It is not like a 70s truck where you have an extra foot of harness to play with when working on the truck.

Plus, depending where it is located (I don't know for 2000+ Fords) you can end up defeating the airbag system.

imo, If you are going to go with a bodylift, build it yourself out of black poly by making a big bushing. Then again ... a five inch poly bushing doesn't sound that great either.

If you want to lift the body, I suggest building new mounts and lift the body that way instead of stacking it on stilts.
