Default 3" lift with 2" level?

i have an 05 2wd screw with a 2" level and just ordered a 3" body lift does anyone know if this will fit ok or will i have to extend stuff? also i tried putting 325/65/18 on with just the level and no good bad rub,but the 325/60/18 fits ok with just the level does anyone know if the 325/65's will fit after the body lift is installed?

I ran a 2.5" leveling kit and a 3" Body lift for about 4 years on my 2005 with no problems before just recently replacing the leveling kit with a 6" RCX lift. I ran 35/14.50/17's with no rubbing. Here's a pic of how it looked before the suspension lift.

Yea it's a mother to install. You have to seperate and extend everything connecting the body to the frame, this includes: the steering column, radiator, gas filler neck, transmission linkage, all grounding straps, and emergency brake linkage. Nothing is very difficult but there are alot of steps. It was worse than installing the suspension lift, but there isn't anything special to install it with a leveling kit.

Yes its a pain in the *** to install.I have installed a couple of them.If done right,comes out looking good.All complete body lifts should come with the proper parts to extend.I have to agree with the other guy,their harder to install than suspentin lifts.

I have the 3" Perf Acc lift and love it. The install is a mother to say the least, and thats why I forked over $700 to have it installed. I think you'll be real happy afterwards. Let us know!
