scary body lift
when i was at pull a part today i seen a ranger that was lifted in the for sale lot, so i went and looked just for kicks....at first it looked like it might be a good project for an offroad toy cause it had a nice skyjacker lift system in the front....but when i got to the back i got a surprise....someone did a nasty body lift that i dont even see how they thought it would work out....check this out....

this is the body lift you DONT WANT!!!

$1250 for a truck that is missing half of it? It would take atleast $1250 to make it right. The things people come up with.

I guess the reason there are lift laws is because of stuff like that. I know I wouldn't feel safe in that thing.

I've seen a body lift made of 2" OD ABS filled with concrete on a junked '85 F250 in the junkyard before. The body had peeled off the frame.
