So ultimately I want to do a 3.4 swap and I’ve been reading forums and asking questions for a couple of weeks now. Last night I decided on the 1” body lift and hope it will be enough to clear the 3.4 supercharged version but I really didn’t want to deal with radiator drop and whatnot so hopefully 1” will be enough and won’t cause a lot of problems.

 

So interior guy has had the door panels since the 6th of September and the seat since the 14th. Wasn’t real sure when I’d get them back so I ordered the body lift last night since the seat was out. Less than an hour later he called and said I could pick up the seat and door panels today LOL. I was really impressed with the work had no idea it would turn out like this.

 

Did drain and refill on transfer case and transmission tonight.

 

Don't forget your radiator mounts to the front of the truck/radiator support and not the chassis. So I'd you swap in a bigger rad you might still come across clearance problems..

 

Got the cab sprayed with Raptor Liner really wish I’d had the bed already and got it all done at once.

 

Body mount kit arrived today from Energy Suspension, 1” body lift from Sky Off-road has been here for a week or so. Decided I might as well change out the mounts while doing the body lift.

 

Did it by myself, definitely want to remove the bumper first. You have to reuse several washer per Energy Suspension plus the Sky body lift came with two different length bolts for the cab.
Also you have to reuse the adapter plate bolts for the four mounts under the cab, I wired brushed them really well and wiped down the frame mounts before putting the bushings in place.

 

Gained a true inch in body height I really thought it might be a little more with the new body mounts as well. Checked the fan shroud for clearance and fan still clears ok. Will take it for a test drive tomorrow. No torque values in the body mount or body lift kits so I used 3/8-16 grade 8 non lubricated which came to 44 ft. lbs.

 

Dude! you are making such progress, this is truly a great build to be watching.

 

Looking good!

 

Before and after shot.
