There is no relocation brackets for a 80-86 F-series. the front bumper bolts right to the frame. When i did mine i actually cut the front frame horns off and welded them back on 3" higher, then trussed where i welded it

you just drill a hole in the hockey pucks, find some longer bolts and stack the hockey pucks on top of the body mounts, basically the same thing as all of the body lift kits ive seen
Thats kinda what I figured I would be looking at, Thanks Brad.
The hocky puck trick is getting hockey pucks, drilling holes through them and using them as 1 inch lifts for the body. I have never done it and probably never will, polyurathane is easy enough to get.

If poly is easy to get just cut it whatever thickness you want on a band saw and drill a hole. Post where you find a length of poly if you do find it. Others will want to know too...

Hockey pucks deteriorate and fall apart. Get a boat roller and cut it with a hack saw to make your own lift.

May i ask why doing a body lift instead of doing it the right way ?

This was the lift I used, the body mounts were great and the steering extension was worth the price I thought, but the brackets for the bumper lift were kind of a joke. I put a ton of work into cutting up stuff moving my front bumper up and out, but it's done and it looks good. You might not have as much problem as I think you have a brink nose. The rear bumper was pretty easy to move. Good luck whatever way you go.

um, the 6 inch suspension lift thats already on it doesnt help with getting the body up off the frame. getting the body up off the frame gives more clearance for retardedly larger turbo charging systems.

Thats all i was wondering, i think Body lifts are a stupid and half cocked way to get bigger tires under a truck. But for what you are looking for it would work just fine.
