Unhappy body lift.

I got a 1988 4x4 with the 7.3 diesel and manual transmission.I noticed that every body lift company that sells the lift kits says body lifts are not reccomended for diesel 4x4 trucks.Does any one else know about this and if so why?.And does anyone have a body lift in thier truck?Thanks

I lifted my 92 with the kit that said NOT for diesels. Everything worked, but I did have clearence problem with cab upper and lower mating flange hitting driver side of exhaust.

I am running a 2" lift on my 86.3

I think a lot of it has to do with the radiator shroud and cooling issues.

The radiator shroud needs to be reworked to relocate it if you tow or haul a lot.
