Default just put on body lift, nightmare!

Did not expect soo many things to be such an issue. If anyone on here is thinking about putting one on set aside 7-9 hours, a hack saw, electric drill, power tools, and ALOT of patience ( i walked away pissed off abouit 5 times, this is not for the short tempered) I will try to post pictures up soon I dont have a camera so its hard to get pics up. I like the look though and now that Im done im happy about it. Its a 3 inch bodylift from performance accecories.

One of the more time consuming ones I've done, but still not hard. Just really really tedious. Have you ever done a body lift on a Nissan Hardbody? Probably 2.5 hours max. That's with dinner somewhere in the middle, too.

man how do yall take so long putting them on i did my suspension lift in that time by myself.. done a couple body lifts to on supercrew f150s and a single cab (old truck) the longest it took was 2.5 max that was the very first cut the bed liner with a razor blade next time you get one tell them to pull the body bolts..

i did the body lift all by myself haha my dad helped hit the bed bolts with the impact and thats all he did lol. and man susp lifts are way easier imo. faber its a P.A. kit or performance accessories kit and they come with all the **** u need!
