body lift

[rubberfish]

rubberfish, mind sharing your experience in a little more detail? problem areas, what would be most difficult without facilities?

Well that's cool. Everybody saved me a ton of typing.
EvergreenRanch, all you'll need is basic hand tools,
air would be nicer though, for the stubborn bolts.
And you'll need 3 or 4 friends with strong backs and weak minds.
I did mine with only one other guy, but we were in a fully
equipped shop. You just need your buddies to do some lifting.
As for the box/bed, you may or may not want to consider
running some square tubing, 1x3 or 2x3 across from one frame rail
to the other to be sure that a load of gravel doesn't sag the floor.

fabtech makes a suspension lift for the 2wd diesels but it's considerably more expensive than a body lift
