Default 1995 2500 body lift???

how come on every site i look at, all the body lifts say except for diesel? why?does any sites have them and is there some thing that prohibits a regular body lift from being used? I want to use a bl so i can get 275s under it with a little clearance when hauling 4 wheeler in bed and keep all my hauling abilities. ideas? anyone have 2" keys?

if you do a body lift it will interfere with the cooling system unless you do some modfications which is a waste of time. i got 265s so 275s should fit under there with no issue. if you feel the need you can crank the t-bars a couple turns

it the air filter box. it sits on top of the pass. wheel well which is raised 2 or 3".

That being said, yes a body lift does eff up your cooling as much as people say.

I ran a 3 so maybe its a little difference. I had already built my intake when I installed the body lift so it wasn't an issue.

It runs well but not gonna move well till I get the southbend next month.
