Default Hockey puck body lift?

I have a 2004 Ford F-15o. I was told I could drill holes in hockey pucks and use them for a body lift?

Yes you can. It's pretty much same material as the spacers you get. Used em on our mud trucks back home in mich

Yes it will work but when the actual kits are so cheap its not practical. If ur truck was a beater I'd say go for it but its your dd I'm assuming so no use a kit

That would be bad. Body spacers are made out of a high strength polyurethane plastic.

The holes of the hockey pucks will wear and distort. The body would get loose from the frame and you could have some serious issues!

Body lift kits are so cheap. I did one when I was young and poor. It was cheap and fairly easy.

We used to lift trucks all the time with hockey pucks and never had an issue! They look funny though because you dont have the spacers for the bumpers to m ake them match the body.
