I am going to install a 3" body lift on my 03 Ram 1500 4X4 and wanted and info you think would be helpful. I have reviewed the install instructions but wanted to know what to expect from others that have battled this task. Do you need to align the truck after? Any tips would be awesome! Thanks -- Pic's to come

Wow!! Thanks!! Thats Sweet. I'm all for taking a cutting wheel to the front of my truck but how do i know where to cut? Do you need to modify the fuel filler, steering shaft and fan shroud? Let me know I'm all excited now!

 

It's all in the directions! No worries with the fuel filler. The kit has an extension for the steering shaft. You have to cut your fan shroud, but it's nothing a few beers can't solve.

its not a bad install... takes time but nothing is overly hard. I had a hell of a time getting the dam steering extension in but its all good now. dont forget you're going to have to move your exhaust up unless its dumped...
watch frog's video a few times (the 4by4 lift tips are very helpful), and have at 'er.

dont be surprised if you have some parts left over... there's a lot you dont need. if i were you i would get an e-fan so you dont have to mess with cobbling your stock shroud twice...

 

haha the mexican one is the best! lmao.

 

I knew it was going to start getting dark, so I did all my cutting first. then after getting the blocks in, I realized that I didn't need to cut my fuel filler lines........ ain't that a bitch? You just need to seperate the filler mouth from the bed then re-attach after the lift is installed.

 

Holy tornado jesus, wife is gonna have a panic attack!!!!!!!! hahaha funny as hell

great DIY video frog
