Body Lift Installation

I own a '93 extended cab, 4x4, F-150 with a 6 inch suspesion lift. I was wondering what ALL the details for installing a body lift. Money nor time will cause a problem. Thanx alot fellas!

Body Lift Installation

When you install a body lift you should start with the bed. I don't know why but that's how I've always been told to do it. If you are going with a big lift, (3") you most likely will have to extend your brake lines, along with extending your steering shaft, lifting your bumpers, rebending or cutting out your floorboards for your shifters, and other miscellaneous things. You will have to do some modifications with your fan and fan shroud also. I don't recommend body lifts, it will twist your body when out wheelin. You can also see all the way through your truck after you install one. But good luck with it.
