Why are you looking at doing a body lift?

horsetranscummins 12-20-2012 05:11 PM

i am thinking of hauling a trailer weekly from fl to ky and i found this truck low low miles on it and one owner it just sits to low and to trailer towers over it i really would like to be up higher in the cab

What about leveling the front?

horsetranscummins 12-20-2012 05:17 PM

i had just read up online where some guy had mover his fan up 3'' on his block the cummins had bolt holes a bit higher on the front on there blocks and add a longer 3'' pipe to intercooler and i just can't see how this can't be done??

My leveling kit got me 2.5", and with air bags in the back I can haul my trailer with the truck at it's normal height.

I would go with RAWwilliam's setup. RAWilliams, where did you get your air bags and leveling kit? How much did it run you?

His truck is a 2 wheel drive vs. 4 so the suspension and everything is different

I wouldnt run a body lift on anything unless it was made by raising the steel mounts on the frame and was solid with stock thickness bushings :nope:
