97 diesel 4x4 needs body lift but everyone i talk to says they dont make one for a diesel can i adapt one the only diffrence i forsee is to shorten pipingfrom air box to turbo,turbo to intercooler, and intercooler to intake can any one help

The only help I can give you is to not put it on

Ian

it only costs a couple hundred bucks to get a few inches of lift, enough to clear 35's. why a body lift?

Just say "NO" to body lifts.

I put one on my truck,got one for a dodge ex cab with a v10(same year as mine). Worked out good,just had to cut my intercooler to intake a littler shorter.Make sure you loosen your intercooler boots first.

OOOps All most forgot your filler tube hose that comes in kit won't fit a diesel,need to buy a bigger size hose.

Dont even bother. Very ghetto way to lift a truck.

I put one on mine to cut down on driveline angles........I wanted to clear 38's or bigger but didn't want to have helacious angles in the driveline, especially with putting a lot of power to the ground!! ( which will be happening soon).

I had a 5" suspension lift on mine at first but anything more would give to much angle so a body lift came in handy. And for all of those you say the look horrible, !!! You can barely even tell mine is on there, I have no gaps ANYWHERE and you can hardly see any more of the frame then when stock.

I've had mine on since December and I have had NO problems with it what so ever. And it made working on the engine 100 times easier!!!!

I have a 3inch body lift also now on my 98, can't even tell it has one one it. Installation was a breeze. Worked great, and would recomend it just to clear a little bigger tire.

Ian

really?? I wasn't thinking so much about the look as i was the thought of jacking the body off the frame...i guess thats not too bad of an idea if you want cheap lift and big tires

Hey gotlift or smokenram: do you guys have any side pics of your rigs? (ie to see the body lift/no gaps)
