Bust a cap

Hello,
The following question has come to my attention: how high can you lift before you have to worry about lengthening throttle linkages, other mechanical lines and such? I ask because I see something in the future of my rig. Maybe a 3 to 4 in lift, nothing over 6 for sure, the budget does not allow.

since you mentioned throttle linkage , I assume you mean bodylift. Any body lift even 1" can run into issues with throttle linkage, shift linkage, radiator hoses, gas fillers, MC brake lines, extra body stress etc,. All these issues can be dealt with, just expect anything that conects to the body and frame will need to be lengthed.

I've never seen a body lift kit over 3"

I am almost positive with a 6 inch lift you need a new pit man arm right?
