Moore941 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Ok so im planning on doin a 3 inch body lift on my 2000 Durango, Ive done a few suspension lifts with buddies and what not but never done a body lift, What should i expect and how difficult is it to do, I wish i could do a suspension lift but i cant find anyone that carries a lift for a 2wd durango. Found bag and lowering kits out the ass but i dont want either lol. So i guess body lift is for me, unless someone else know another way that is safe and semi-reliable.

E-Train Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I wouldnt do a body lift on a daily driver, ive seen them shift on the spacers so that the body and frame are sitting crooked, and have you checked out 4wheelonline.com or 4wheelparts.com they may have a suspension lift or a leveling kit Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.

jagblazer01 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 just this past weekend I did a body lift on my 2001 Blazer. Its really not that hard. biggest pain is disassembling everything to do the acutal lift. I dont think you have to worry about body shifting as long as you do it correctly and follow the directions. The kit gives you all the torque specs for the bolts and everything Quote Team Sundown Audio / Team XS Power / Team SHOK SMD Super Buyer/Sellerwww.sundownaudio.com www.shokindustries.com www.4xspower.com www.excessiveamperage.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a_steezy Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 as far as suspension lifts there is tough countries 5.5" which i hear is garbage $1500-2000 then rancho has a 3" which in nice, but 3" aint really to terribly much for $1500 or you can do the 2" t/s + the 3" body lift for under $300..... totally worth it cost wise and these are the 33x12.5 KM2s Quote '98 Dodge Durango 5.9L 5% front windows, 2.5% on all backs Alpine CDA-9883 Kicker ZX350.4 Kicker KS650's in all doors Kicker 1/0 hyperflex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
