is there a possbile way i can put a body lift on my cummins they make them for gas trucks but not mine i know cause the intercooler tubes but is there something i can do to them and will there be more problems?

 

just get a piece of pipe of the same diameter and use that in its place. why you going with a body lift?

 

Have to modify the intercooler tubes would be my guess

 

i really doubt an inter cooler would stop me from doing a body lift, im sure its no big deal. you will probably just end up leaving the intercooler in place and lifting it 3" with the rest of the front end and then shorten the intercooler piping from the turbo to the intercooler and from the inter cooler to the intake elbow.

that being said, dont do a body lift. why not just do something a little more real deal, these trucks already have quite a bit of frame hanging down, especially around the 4 link brakcets.

 

I've been thinking about doing one but that's because I can get a body lift for free and my tires rub

 

if you want to lift your truck to mud DONT do a body lift they are entirely worthless the point to lifing your truck is to maximize ground clearence and you want to have suspension travel too. suspension lift and larger tires is they way to go that being said if your just doin it for looks body lifts for diesels are expensive and usualy come with everything that you need including extensions for lines and other ods and ends parts that can't stretch. a body lift for a diesel usualy runs double that of a suspension lift as far as i see and you get more from suspension so id deffinatly trash the body lift and go suspension

 

boost tubes will not need to be modified mine fit no prob...you will have to cut the bottom of the fan shroud, extend the steering slip shaft and ur air box and piping gets a little tight along with ur ebrake cable coming from the cab to the frame...

 

Just get a kit for a gas truck. make sure it's for the 2500 weight though. The tubed steel is strong enough to hold the extra engine weight and those are cheap and easy to do. But again, I wouldn't do it if it was for mudding. There aren't a lot of positives other than no cost to me and getting my tires free from the fender. I'm gonna have to build a new bumper for the hitch though because it's too high for camper trailers now, not to mention after i lift it 2"

 

yea for got to mention the bumper brackets and filler neck need to be modded... ur only lifting the body not the engine...

 

Maybe the guy who put my body lift on, did something special, but Ive had a 3" body lift on sin 04' and the only issue Ive had was the air box hose is too short. Maybe i got lucky!
