hbs leveling kit installed, now its time for a body lift. has anyone used Performance Accessories for there body lifts? i see there pretty cheap but i wanna make sure there a good product. and any problems or things to watch out for when installing the body lift???


heres a link for the BL, let me know if theres somewhere else better to go

IIRC Summit has its own brand for ~$50 cheaper

 

is it good though?

 

Summit only carries one for truck w/ manual trans.
Just get the PA brand one. Shop around for best price yourself...
You'll need to buy the rear bumper bracket separately as well. Unless you want a 3"+ gap between the bumper and body.

 

Here's a few i found for Dodge trucks while i was looking around on summit:

I didn't know they were that cheap so i might have to get one down the road. They're probably a pain to put on though. How would you know which kit to buy though because they all say they're for dodges?

 

just go directly to the PA website, grab the parts number for your specified ram and pop it in on google to find cheapest kit. As previous user stated you need to buy a rear bumper raise bracket separetly. The kit is not too hard to install just very time consuming, but your saving 500$ compared to suspension lift.

 

I have a Performance Accessories 3 inch body lift for my Ram. Overall I am happy with it. I bought it from summit racing. It may not be the cheapest lift but I'de say its the best bang for your buck.

 

By clicking through the "Narrow Results" portion... There's only 2 (3")body lifts that fit 2001 ram 1500 with auto trans

 

Is Summit quality or PA body lifts better? There's a 30 dollar difference in the two I'm looking at on there.

I would like to do a 3" body and some little suspension lift. Preferably a 3" to give me 6" total. What's a good kit off topguncustomz to buy dealing with suspension?

 

They're basically the same thing, just different box. There's not much in a body lift thats gonna wear out. Get which ever one your heart desires most.

For an extra 3" of suspension lift, I would just buy a 2" skyjacker AAL for the rear and either get diesel coils from a 2500/3500 in a junkyard or just buy 3" top guns spacers. Then get your ~3" shock of your choice. No need for control arms that come with their kits...
