Aww you can see his cute little legs running under the truck 😂

So we just going to act like he never got in the truck at the end 😂 we see them feet walking fast

I always run a 3" body lift with a suspension lift, components are much easier to access when fixing and you can stub the header primaries out between the fender wells and the frame. I do this to all my trucks, never had a problem. Also returned 2 of them to factory height before selling with no problems. I'm referring to 1970's Fords

Am I The Only One That Would Love To Work At Custom Offsets Lol Just Seems Chill Asf

Body lifts under 3" can be great, they allow you to fit bigger tires without compromising the center of gravity as bad or without putting as much wear in your suspension or driveline

The noise at 1:45 is brutal, cant even imagine everything he broke

180,000 miles on the OEM wheel bearings? True statement for the semi floating c clip rear end with beefy roller bearings, but not for the weak unibearing front hubs. The offset of those rims will kill those hubs in time. I've replaced a grip of them on lifted customer's trucks through the years.

“That’s it! We’re out of here!” *walks behind truck and runs when the truck speeds up*

Lol his biceps are photoshopped on the thumbnail

About body lifts, they can be super useful when doing odd engine swaps.

Body lifts absolutely have their place as long as they're small. A 1-1.5" body lift is pretty much required to do a tummy tuck or flat skid on a wrangler...

3 inch body lift in addition to suspension lift allows the ability to run true strait 2.5 inch dual exhuast over the drivetrain on a square body chevy even sneaking above the receiver hitch. Painless exuast🙂! Some times they can be a good thing.

Also- even with a federal highway certification, each state has their own lift laws. My 7.5” lift in Massachusetts is now illegal and can’t pass inspection, which leads to a registration cancellation, and if you get pulled over with a rejection sticker and a cancellation registration- you’r going to jail. If your going to lift your truck-Check your states laws- in my case, they changed the laws a year after I lifted the truck and I just pulled off $3k in lift kit and tires and welded a frame member back in for $1800 in tires and parts. And then sold the lift kit in another state for $500......So DON’T EVER MOVE TO MASSACHUSETTS

Body lifts are good for one reason getting up to the Bell housing bolts

I retained all the stock components from my truck. If I wanted to I could take the lift kit off because there was no welding or cutting with my suspension lift. My body lift also helped to fit even larger tires on. It is good, just not as good as a suspension lift. Other than those two things I would agree.

Not true about going back to stock. I have a 2015 denali with a 6in fabtek kit that allows me to put it back to stock. Plus i kept all the oem parts

Body lift pluses you need to consider before ruling them out: 1- you don’t have to cut into the frame/suspension mounting positions as you would with some lift kits hence being able to return it to stock easier. 2- most newer trucks especially dodges the frames tuck so deep under stock with a body lift they are still barely noticeable. 3- lower center of gravity vs a lift kit since suspension,drivetrain and other heavy components stay lower with frame. 4- modern body lifts come with extension brackets for: bumpers, spare tire cable box, steering arm, brake lines, and ground mounts etc.... not just pucks. 5- stock suspension ride of truck is essentially retained since stock suspension is untouched. 6- you now have easier access to certain things which you might have had essentially no access to with the body sitting flush against the frame. Top of fuel tank! Pump, wiring and connections, brake and fuel lines running tight along side or on top of frame rails! 7- cost! Do you want the look but aren’t really interested in taking your 2016/17/18 truck through the woods and scratching the shit out of your new truck that you are still making payments on! 2 or 3 inch leveling kit with new angle adjusted control arms+ 3 inch body lift = essentially the same look of a 6 inch lift at less cost. There are obviously advantages to a suspension lift over a body lift but you can’t rule out the pluses to a body lift and in some cases advantages to a body lift over a suspension lift.

Older trucks can be returned to factory ride height. I have a 84 Chevy that I cycle 3 different kits on. One that's stock height, a 6 inch kit and a 12 inch kit. Different shocks, driveshafts, and steering components are needed for each kit but it works.

About the body lifts, I will say that on small trucks like my s10, it makes it able to shove a larger engine in the thing. Personally, I'd cut a hole in my hood before a body lift, but some guys prefer the lift to give more clearance to the firewall

Body lifts can give you that extra two or three inches you might need for clearance of extra large tires, I have a 3 inch body lift and a 6in suspension lift on my Chevy 2500, I'm also running 37 inch tires Humvee takeoffs

I heard changing the angle of parts like the transmission, driveshaft, CV axles can mess them up by lifting truck

I like the ambiance of you narrating while on the scooter.

Can u all make video on alignments. The difference between stock and aftermarket upper control arms.

Damnit Eric!!! Slacking on the job, no wonder my order ain’t ship yet! 😂🤣🤣

Body lifts can not only give room for bigger tires , they can h3lp you sit higher from water if off-roading in water and mud. They also give more room to wrench on things like shocks,cross member, drivetrain. By being that much higher you will be less likely to get rocker panel rust by clearing splashes and road salt more. Also, if engine swaps or mods are done clearance to hood can vary. Body lifts are reversible ,unlike 6 inch or more suspension lifts.

I hate seeing a lifted truck where the rear is lower than the front, that's why people are wondering why the rear blocks aren't big enough

Nice shop tour. And to the point. Keep it up.

Speaking jeeps, body lifts do have a purpose. Accompanied with a motor mount lift and a high clearance skid plate to do a tummy tuck. To tuck the drivetrain up higher to create more belly clearance.

Thanks Scotty, YOU ROCK. Wondered about buying a nice looking used lifted truck, intension of having it lowered. I think NOT now. Can you give us a tip on what to look out for in trucks previously lifted and lowered?

end part when his running nxt to the truck is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

One thing about body lifts: they do work on Jeeps and actually look pretty decent if you install aftermarket inner fenders which a lot of Jeep owners do anyways.

Body lifts have their uses, a lot of skids need some extra clearance that a bl gives. Can also get a little extra wheel clearance. And in the case of the Jeep jk it makes your exhaust not burn your feet after you take the carpet out of the tub by giving some extra space between the crossover and the floorboards.. I wouldn't use them just for a lift tho

A good reason for a body lift is for extra clearance for working on the vehicle, plus relatively cheap

These videos continue to IMPRESS! Just gets better and better

If something became damaged because of the lift, it’s not covered by the vehicle manufacturer warranty. For instance: CV axles being at an extreme angle, U-joints, tire wear and etc. it’s all situational, but yes a lift kit can void your warranty. Well, at least for the particular part that was damaged as a result of the lift.

Good info, thanks! I love the comic relief you guys put into your videos!

Body lift not good for anything? What about keeping center of gravity low and gaining room in the fender wells.

No. A 2014 duramax. I added the air bags to assist with my rv. The air bags make my rearend sit higher. I was wanting to put a cognito lift. 4inches in front and 2inches in rear. That would level it out

Really glad you clarified that lift kits are not good for off road use for all those idiots out there.. A 4.5" lift block is a stupid stupid stupid idea for extreme off road.

Let’s say you have a 6 inch lift, is it true that you have to go slow around corners or you will flip your truck? I mean will they be easier to tilt over?

I have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson and I’m thinking about lifting it about 1 1/2” and installing larger tires for greater ground clearance for Chicago winters. Any ideas, suggestions, or reasons not to?

I've heard larger wheel/tire packages can "over time" cause excessive wear and/or damage to transmissions, transfer cases and differentials. Any truth to this?

I have a question. I was looking for a 2 Inch suspension lift on my 2017 Ford Ranger XLT diesel and when I went into a shop they recommended a custom bracket that would just lift the front (they said it would level the truck). My question is, would using the bracket to lift the front end cause any problems with the suspension/ride? Would it cause any issue with the shock being extended further than factory? Thanks for any insights you have. The suspension lift kits he had (king) were VERY expensive and the bracket option was more economical of course. Thanks in advance for any advice.

i like my body lift, i have suspension lift as well but i built a 2" body lift so i could fit wiring, hosing and such bewteen teh body and frame

That Astro van at the end was dope❤️

Body lift can be used as part of a combo lift and keep your COG down while letting you clear a bigger tire.

I'm terrified of messing up when I get a truck, but modding is the main reason I'm shopping for one. What's the different between a lift kit and upgrading the suspension? Can I get the lifted look with proper suspension that doesn't damage the integrity of the vehicle long term, or make my ride feel like garbage? I rather do it slowly and correctly than rush some mods and ruin my new truck for the aesthetic lol. I like the overlanding/tank look and it would suit my hobbies, if you can give me any advice on resources to get my knowledge base right?

"Just don't. They're not good for anything." Made me laugh.

I git a 3 inch body a 9 inch lift on a 2.5 leveling kit amd crank trosion keys set a 1 inch 14 inchs of lift on my v6 twin trubo raptor 18

How easy is to find replacement parts for that lift ? Do company sell pieces individually or would you have to buy the whole thing all over again ?

I'm also totally against body lifts, but I have a dilemma. I purchased an aftermarket rear bumper for my 2015 Toyota Tacoma and when the tailgate is open all the way it touches the bumper therefore I'm not able to carry long boards or anything else that might rest on the tailgate or it will dent. There's appsolutely no adjustment available to lower or tilt the bumper downward to avoid contacting the tailgate. Do you think in my situation a body lift kit would eleviate this problem? Your advice is much appreciated👍

Rear block are stupid and just a cheep way to get your truck up a bit. If you are serious about lifting your truck put new leaf springs in that have more of an arch.

What about brake line extensions? I’m thinking about a 4 inch rough country suspension lift, and would rather not get extended lines if I don’t have to. Thoughts?

I have a 06 Silverado and I’m putting on a 6” RC lift with 35” tires. I’d like to add a body lift as well but I have a floor shifter, does anyone make a shift extension?

What are your thoughts on the Pro Comp Nitro 3” front suspension lift, 1.5 rear? 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport 4X4? This is what the installer for Toyota is recommending here with 285/70/17 33’s Nitto RidgeGrapplers on 17inch Matte black D694 Fuel Coverts -12 offset? Thoughts anyone please help. Quoted at $3,100.00 cash includes alignment, warrantied, wheel speed sensor calibration, diff drop, and adaptive cruise control calibration.

Fuck a spacer lift and you don’t need to cut anything unless you’re doing a bracket lift and fuck that too. Also, body lifts have their purpose. Just don’t go too high but anything under 3” on MOST vehicles is fine. It’s mainly for fitting bigger tires without cutting. Body lifts can be removed

I really like the new videos guys, Keep it up!

Okay, so what if I am looking to take off the 8 inch suspension lift off my Ford Excursion and instead put a 3-inch? Would I have any problems to expect?

Wait wait hold on now bodys are great for the chevy s10 pick ups and they are great for one thing it makes it soooooooooo much easier to work on ive got a zone 2 inch on mine and man pulling my transmission out was so much easier other then that they suck i did it fir the room and thats it cuz you cant fit a 30" tire like they said

So I have the understanding that if you turn up your torsion bars, you need an allignment to prevent uneven wear. If you put in a leveling kit do you need to re-align?

Body lifts aren't necessarily bad. I have an '83 Toyota longbed with a 3" body lift and 3" suspension lift. It was easier on the driveline angles than a 6" suspension lift.

What is the setup that black truck is running on. Or is there a video on this truck.

Love it guys I was told that if a gm dealer didn’t do my leveling lift that it would void my warrenty and I called bull more people need to know this so they don’t get ripped off

When it comes to 6" lifts Due to budget, can you install coilovers after you've lifted with a basic spacer lift? If so can I use any brand coilovers with any lift or does it have to be brand specific? e.g BDS on BDS or BDS on Rough Country?

Very entertaining video. thumbs up!

You did a couple video where you compare BDS with Rough County. Where does procomp and fabtech fall?

I have 2” spacers in the front of my 2008 silverado with oem shocks. I was thinking of buying the bilstein 5100 leveling front shocks. Can I set the bilsteins to 1” and still keep my 2” spacers in order to obtain an overall 3in front level?

That was an informative and well executed video! Excellent job!

I bought a 2018 f150 lifted when I bought it they told me is was a 4"inch lift but when I went to get a upgraded on my shocks they told me it was a 6" How can I find out what I have?

Hey guys. wisconsin native here. Does rough country have the same team of lawyers to do the warranty law stuff? I just bought my first truck and purchased a 4 year warranty. But im sick of it looking like my grandpa drives it and want a leveling kit and some bigger tires on the truck. But havent since it would void my warranty.

Does lift kits seriously affect the overall life of trucks? Just got a non lifted truck for the city and highway and plan to put 200k plus miles on it.

Hi so I have a 4inc lift my truck still look down hill can I install a 2inc Torsion key to level it ?

Will i get the same smooth ride on my 21 ram if I put a 3/5inch lift kit on

Question on the ball joint stuff. I have a 2015 f150 and I want to put a 2” leveling kit in it. I’ve heard some people say it doesn’t cause any issues and some say that it will. What should I believe and why?

My buddy has 05 and has been threw ball joints and control arm.

running beside the truck at the end to make it like you jumped in and drove away priceless

I’m trying to decide between a lift or level. What are some things to know to help make that decision

In my everyday go to work huntin fishin everyday rig a killer set of shocks ya good tired ya! Stock height anytime!! But when it comes to heavy off road lifter gitter done!!!!!

Awesome video Keep it up :)

You missed drive shafts. Lift kits are supposed to put your cv joints and possibly universal joint at more of extream angle causing them to wear out faster. More angle more strain.

Doing a suspension lift will stress out your cv axles right?

Glad to see your buddies playing ping pong instead of working, what a racket😂😂

What about a leveling kit, can you remove those and go back to stock?

If I put a leveling kit on my truck now. Can I go back and put a lift kit on it a few years down the road??

Great vid!! Thanks senor Fuller..

I was thinking about adding a 2in body lift kit form RC to a Jeep grand cherokee wk, I want to add big rims a tires . Should I got another route ?

I don’t believe a word he said. unless he took the scooter to the ankle after every fact. 😂

What about spindle lifts do you recommend those ?

No body lifts, says the guy riding a scooter...

what can i do here in pa where suspension lifts are actually illegal where i cannot have any blocks in the front

Solid video!

Any recommendations for a 2” lift kit on a 2013 Isuzu D-Max? I’m in UK 🇬🇧

What lift and wheel offset and tire size is on the black silverado. Sweet ass truck man

Good morning Taylor

What feels better driving what’s smother leveling or lift

Good video, I will sub!

lamfo was that astro van sporting some gold daytons? Maybe i just need thicker glasses !

Asking a question i have 2 h2 i want to buy lift kits 2005 and 2006 ... What is the best buy for both and and want 6" ..which is best to order and can do a longer springs and shocks for both or?

Body lifts are good for people who need more clearance for tires at full compression such as hitting the fender wells, etc. but mall crawling not so much

How does a 4" lift affect a trucks payload and towing capacities?
