im gona tackle my body lift on my 01 expedition xlt since the weathers bona be warm fro-sun.i have a few friends heeling just looking for tips and advice on what to do first and watch or look for. i know do one side a time but the steering link extension? fuel lines radiator mount? what to do
Steering extension is easy. Youll see how it work when you get under there and look. I didnt need to extend my gas line. How are you going to lift the body? Just lifting the cab of my truck was a lot of work even though the bed was easy. Radiator mounts should be the same since your radiator connects to the body just make sure you dont yank a hose off when lifting 3". Youll need to drop you fan shroud 3" to make it fit but thats pretty self explanatory. Just go out and slap that lift on and if you run into any issues then come back and ask. Its hard to rule out all the possibilites because just like any project, plan on having problems and set time aside to fix them.
start spraying the body bolts with pb blaster several times a day. read the directions now. and get all the measurments, i would go ahead and take out the seats to make it go faster on the weekend.
I have to take out just the middle row seats or the front too? And how many bolts are under the carpet that I have to loosen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
like josh said, read over the directions prior to doing the install. get all your nuts, bolts and washers together and marked so you know where they go. might be a good idea to get the seats out before hand so it does go a bit quicker. take a look under the truck and find where all the body mount locations are, then youll know what seats need to come out.
