the kit i bought was off of summit. the only thing weird was there are two metric bolts that dont have nuts so you just need to get those, why they are metric i have no idea. for a manual the kit pretty much just tells you to cut your floor so it doesnt hit, thats why i bent mine so i would only have to cut a little. remove your shift boots on both your shifters before you begin so they dont rub when you lift up the body. there are no extensions for the shifter just the steering. here is a link for the kit i bought. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1∂=SUM-7882300&N=700+4294908331+4294908312+4294924746+429 4789402+115&autoview=sku

I am new here but i just wanted to let you know................

A friend of mine had a bunch of 3'' lift blocks laying around so I grabbed them put thme in my 89 4x4 and all I had to do was cut the fan shroud a little and bend my t-case shifter. other than that i did not have to mess with the steering or the brake lines.

I put a 3" body lift on last weekend and i didnt need to do anything but bend the transfer case shifter and my manual shifter. I didnt need to extend my brake lines or anything. It worked out well.

thanks for all the help guys for cost reasons i decided to go with 33x12.50's cuz theyre like $100 cheaper. eventually though i'm still wanting to get a suspension lift and bigger tires but for now i'll stick with the 33's and 3" body lift lol



Quick Reply: Can i fit 35's with a 3" bidy lift?
