Just did this body lift yesterday on my 2017 Laramie longhorn 1500. Very simple but time consuming job. A couple things I’ll say, I never touched the parking brake cable or gas filler neck or gas cap. I did pull the front speed sensor wires off the fender well liners but that was unnecessary. Also I pulled the trans cable out of the holder but I don’t think it needed it as it popped right back in place after the lift. Definitely install the steering shaft extension while the bumper is off gives you tons of access room to the pinion. I sprayed mine with penetrating oil and let it soak and it came apart easily. Thanks for posting this video. The instructions are a little vague when doing the front bumper brackets and this video helped a lot!

Thanks to your video I was able to fix my sons Ram. His steering was shaky and vibrated a lot. He bought his truck with the body lift already on it. When I watched your video I realized they put the steering extension in the wrong place. They put it on the top of the intermediate shaft not the bottom. I guess it was easier for them? I moved it today and now it’s perfect. Thanks for a great video!!

Hey guys. The steering extension they sent me was milled wrong and caused some play in the steering. I contacted performance accessories and they sent me a new extension and it worked perfect. Play in the steering wheel is not normal or safe.

Hey, thanks so much for that. The only issue I encountered was with the steering shaft extension they sent me, it was too loose and my steering had a lot of play. They shipped me a new one and no issues since. Plenty of room for the wiring to move with the truck, and I noticed nothing being pulled or strained to reach.

Think I'm at a stand still. 2016 limited. Factory fender flares. I can't get the front fascia off. Even with that back inner bolt and the one fender well outside bolt, clips all pulled. It won't budge. almost like the fender flare is glued somehow to the front fascia (perhaps around entire fender as well). Not sure how/if to proceed. Bumper (chrome) will come off. Does that plastic fascia have to come off?

That's is how a "how-to video" should go, great video I'm pretty confident in your video to be able to do this myself. I'm curious tho about the gas fill hose was there enough hose for the lift? I ask because the gas tank stays with the frame and the fill hose goes up with the body?
@workwithme2558
@workwithme2558 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much, I appreciate that. During my install, the instructions had me removed the hose, I’m assuming to prevent damage if you lift the bed up to high. When I reinstalled that gas filler hose, there was plenty of slack left in it to get it back on. None of these components should move or stretch so I wouldn’t worry about it at all.

Just about to do body lift on my 1500 and after reading many forums I found that if you have a chrome bumper there's no need to remove grill, lights, and fascia. Just took a look at mine and sure enough the bumper is independent of those items. Just unbolt the bumper and remove

HI Mark, did my install yesterday and I did indeed have to remove the grill, fascia, etc......I gotta learn not to believe everything I read on the ol interwebs! I did the Zone 1.5 body lift with my Bilstein 6112 adjustable coils set at max height for a total lift of 4 inches......looks awesome and hit the sweet spot for me in height as well as having no effect on the trucks geometry. The 1.5 kit is pretty basic and took my son and I about 4 hours in total to install .......IMO a great option for piggybacking Bilstein leveling lifts. Cheers bro!
