Ok I am getting this done little by little. I started on my 3" body lift but something don't seem right. Is this lift setup right? I thought maybe I did something wrong. It seems way to high. Also maybe once this engine & trans is in I can lower this down some. Any ideas or sugestions?

Thanks Joe

Also there are more pics here being halfway done.

Seems right to me, just like mine´s. I have cummins in 95´ pickup and there is no room to lower in tranny tunnel. Your frame is bit rusty.

ok thanks. I was told I have to atleast have a 1 1/2 - 2 " lift but three would give me alot of room. Makes it easier to clear things. Do you have a side shot of your truck before and after?

thanks

I do those trucks and you can do it with out a body lift ! You can also cut down your blocks if you want to lower it a bit.

How if i may ask? My cummins´s turbine housing is like an 1 inch from cab floor and oil pan less than that from front axle.

Sorry, no. It was lifted when i bought it.

In general, anything over a 2" body lift can cause the need for a dropped Pitman arm, to prevent bumpsteer. 3" is pushing it with a stock arm, and I believe 4" surely needs a drop arm.

wrong, dropped arm is for suspension lift. Body lift only needs the steering column tilted slightly

Makes sense, my mistake.

The fit and finish depends on how you make your mounts !
Do you mean the fire wall ,the housing isn't that close.

Yes the oil pan will be tight but the ifs axle doesn't move so not a problem.
