Talking 6 inch body lift?

well, over the break, ive seen 2 trucks with huge body lifts. one was an early 80s chevy, with the out of frame gas tanks, and you coul almost see the top of the tanks, and it appeared to be multiple lifts stacked up and over. the other was a 70's f250, and it was raked like /. i could pretty much lay inbewteen the frame and the bed, and the middle supports were left out, whats up with all the ghey lifting lately?

Chrono you should know by now those owner's trucks probly got bad advice on lifting or thought they were smart enough to do themselves.

Start them out full, put a tap on them and run it through a cooler and run a line inside. Then after their goods were out you could use them as structural support.

That 80s Chevy you are talking about--is it the Suburban on ebay right now? Stacked body lifts are still kicking around on some trucks built up in the 80s.

I heard 6x6's work great for body lifts. Cheap, easy to work with, and above all classy!
