Default Body Lift Experience

ok so i bought the PA body lift and i don't how does it take 2 to 3 hrs to install. it took me 18 hrs non stop to finish it and i was so tired you cant imagine. i really lost hope at the last 5 hrs because i felt it was never going to end. but finally got it on and will try to post some pics soon. i just wanted to know if it really takes 2 - 3 hrs to install or no? because if it does then im really stupid and slow. On the bright side, its so gr8 and i love it, i still didn't drive the truck as i was sleeping for the past 12 hrs lol. anyways will keep u posted.

Who told you 2-3 hours? You could look at the parts and read the instructions and see it would be more than that. Anyway, glad you got it on and finished. Cant wait see the pics.

I have heard some of the SuperFriends claim to install it in 4 hours... but I found those claims as believable as superheros.

LOL...Yeah 3-4 topps.....lmfao ....clowns

Just looking at what is involved, i would figure 6-8 hours Min. for install myself and I'm quite the superhero when it comes to getting things done.

So for the complete lift noob like me, what's the advantages or disadvantages between a body lift and suspension lift? Anyone got a link that explains how they work and what's involved?

Back on topic, we need pics!!!

well i think a body life is stage 1 lifting. its much easier than the suspension lift and much cheaper. the suspension lift is stage 2 and this is the stage where you use ur truck off roading alot. well i wana get a suspension lift but i need the cash so ill hold on that thought.
i think u need to level the truck first then do the body lift.
